Practical advice on writing with AI: spotting fake citations, reading a detector score, editing a machine draft so it sounds like you, and where paraphrase turns into plagiarism.
AI detectors do not know who wrote a sentence. They measure how predictable it is. Here is what that means, why short and formulaic text gets misread, why non-native writers are flagged unfairly, and how to read a score without over-trusting it.
