Quick answer

QuillBot's AI detector can flag human writing, especially plain, formulaic or non-native English text. Treat the score as a hint, rewrite flagged sections in your own voice, and keep drafts as proof.

Most likely fix: Rewrite flagged sentences in your own voice

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Rewrite flagged sentences in your own voice

    1. Run the detector and note flagged sentences
    2. Add specific details, examples and varied sentence length
    3. Re-check, accepting that the score is not proof
    Did this fix it?
  2. 2. Cross-check with another detector

    1. Paste the same text into a second detector
    2. If results disagree, do not treat either as proof
    Did this fix it?
  3. 3. Keep evidence of authorship

    1. Write in Google Docs or Word with version history on
    2. Keep notes and drafts to show your process if challenged
    Did this fix it?

Symptoms

Text you wrote yourself is scored as AI-generated.

Why it happens

  • Short, repetitive or template-like text looks machine-written to detectors
  • Non-native English writing is flagged more often according to reviews
  • Heavy use of paraphrasing tools makes text look generated
  • All detectors are probabilistic and disagree with each other
