AI detection FAQ
Can you get caught using ChatGPT?
Quick answer
It is possible. AI detectors, instructor judgment, and contextual signals can all indicate likely ChatGPT use, but none is definitive — and consequences depend on whether the use violated policy.
Detection combines several imperfect signals: detector scores, a mismatch with your usual writing, generic phrasing, and missing or fabricated citations. Together they can raise suspicion, but each can be wrong individually.
Whether being flagged leads to consequences depends on the rules. Disclosed or permitted AI use is generally fine; undisclosed AI writing where it is prohibited can trigger an integrity process.
If you use AI within the rules, keep drafts and notes and disclose where required. That documentation is the best protection against both false positives and policy disputes.
