The "False Positive"
Help! I just ran my philosophy essay through the JustDone free detector and it gave me a 65% 'Likely AI' score. I literally spent 10 hours in the library writing this. If my professor sees this, I’m done for. Why is it flagging me?

Take a breath — this kind of result can feel scary, but it doesn’t automatically mean you’ll get in trouble. Tools like the JustDone free detector use pattern analysis, and essays with formal language, academic structure, or consistent rhythm can sometimes trigger high “Likely AI” scores even if you wrote it yourself. Professors usually judge actual writing quality and understanding, not just a percentage from an automated tool.
If you want peace of mind before handing it in, you could try another free tool to compare results: free tool to detect ai generated content and also make sure your citations and arguments are clear and in your own voice.
