English portfolio concern sqa

In my English essay I ran my folio with various AI detectors some famous ones like quillbot, ZeroGPT, GPTzero, Grammarly, scribble all gave me less then 6% ai. Now for other ai detectors that are not very popular gave me more then 20+% as you can see which is not accurate now my concern is that how they check with ai I believe that the sqa rely on teachers to check if anyone has used AI and then if they find something suspicious, they will flag it up then do an investigation.

Why did you even contemplate using AI in the first place? Did you even read the “Your Coursework” booklet given out by the SQA outlining details regarding the use of ai/plagiarism and the dire consequences that follow?

I think they meant that they wrote it by themselves and then ran it through an AI detector just to see what the results were, I've done that on occasion before, and you're not getting the AI to "write" your essay. But it's weird that it came out as <6%, that's a bit too high in my opinion but I doubt anything will happen.

Hey! I used a few ai checkers for my portfolio too, and some were very low while others were like over 20% 😭but don’t worry, I’m pretty sure they won’t actually care unless it’s severely high of a percentage like over 50 or 60. if most checkers are saying a low Percentage then you’re fine !

I wrote it by myself but I ran it through AI detectors to check what it will give 😅

Exactly what I meant and I think it will be really bizarre, to just cancel a persons whole qualification just because some AI detector said it’s high like some say it’s high because there are some certain ones that make you pay to make it look “more human”
