AI personal statement

Hey guys,

I have finished my ps and ran it through a ai detector, on quilbolt it had 80%, zeroGPT said around 40% 😭😭
I’m really scared to send this even though I did use it to get ideas and for wording for my sentences to make it sound better. However I DID NOT COPY AND PASTE ANYTHING!! All experiences included are personal and true!!

What should I do please!!!

I’d consider rolling back to the previous version before the AI suggestions but otherwise I wouldn’t take any major action.

As many Personal Statements will use the same sort of phrases and terms, 'similarity' is not that unusual.
If you are confident that you have not copied from any other source you have nothing to worry about.

As long as it sounds like your language and your wording, I think you should be fine.

These AI detectors don't work, Quillbot and ZeroGPT are completely BS with way too many false positives. I also have a naturally verbose style of writing and get flagged wrongly by these AI detectors all the time. Do't worry about it.

If you had to, use a decent AI detector like AIDetectPlus or GPTZero, if it says your text is human, then you're definitely okay. In any case, just relax.
