urgent Qs about gcse coursework and AI
what do the schools use to detect AI if they even do that for igcse edexcel english coursework.
While I took some ideas from school and online resources, I have written everything myself from start to finish. However, after completing each paragraph, I used ChatGPT for suggestions on refinement and edited in many of them. I later realised that my work might be flagged as AI-generated, so I uploaded it to several AI detection sites. Some marked it as mostly AI-generated, while others did not.
Unfortunately, I am unable to reverse my edits and was wondering if my work would still be accepted.

Depends potentially. Have you tried getting clarification from your school on this (and explaining to them what you did)? Or looked at rules surrounding AI usage (assuming that your exam board has rules on this).
This is why I wouldn't touch AI when doing assessments (excluding translation and spell/grammar check where allowed and necessary) without seeking for clarification first. Really bad idea for this reason.
Also ignore random AI detectors, they are nonsense. The best way to be sure (make it most likely) that your work doesn't get flagged as AI is to not use (unauthorised) AI in the first place and therefore avoiding the need to run your work through these checkers...

i'm pretty sure your school would check your coursework using ai checkers before sending it to the exam board and it's also moderated by the other teachers in your english department. if there was any issue with it they would have told you by now so it's probably best not to worry about it.

Luckily you can reverse the edits - your original text you wrote yourself that you entered into chatgpt for its 'edits' will be saved in the conversation log.
Yes, there's a good chance you'll be caught, but more importantly the chatgpt version will be worse than the one you wrote. It will be more grammatically correct but it will be bland and robotic and the markers will be sick to death of reading that stuff, so you are only shooting yourself in the foot by using chatgpt. Also, by doing so you're just farming out the task of thinking and writing to an algorithm, which means you're not getting better at it yourself. Don't let the robots replace you

Very well put. The best AI detector is to ask yourself: did I use AI to write this? If not, then it's not AI! The free AI detectors are very inaccurate, but the ones institutions use are much more accurate. If you didn't use AI, you don't need to worry about being flagged. Moreover, using AI doesn't enhance your work, it only makes it look like banal AI-speak, so whether or not you're caught there's no point.
