If you used AI it will be spotted. It's best not to cheat. It won't do you any good.

its too late now. some ai is slightly influenced, but i ensured that it flows with my work, i know i should haven't used it but i did, I know now not to use it. the reason i asked that qs was because turtntin ai score under 20% dosen't highlight the work and appears as an asterisk instead so was confused what they will do, usually marks are deducted based on the score but now, its hard to do so in regards to assignments under 20%ai

Hi there,

Turnitin can be a little confusing at times, especially if it doesn't give a numeral score. In the case of AI detection, it seems Tunitin's system has been updated to avoid what they call false positives when the score is inferior to 20%. Here is a snippet of their guide to AI scoring:
"Low percentage (*%): False positives (incorrectly flagging human-written text as AI-generated) are a possibility in AI models. To avoid potential incidence of false positives, no score or highlights are attributed for AI detection scores in the 1% to 19% range."

You can find more information about Turnitin scoring here: https://guides.turnitin.com/hc/en-us/articles/28457596598925-AI-writing-detection-in-the-classic-report-view

It is important that you always acknowledge the use of AI in your submissions (with your references) and specify how and why you use AI tools, whether it is to generate ideas or check syntax, and not submit AI generated work as your own.

Hope this helps!
