The percentage indicates the combined amount of likely AI-generated text as It is essential to understand the limitations of AI detection before making decisions

capabilities before using the tool.
Detection Groups

Disclaimer
Our AI writing assessment is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. Our AI writing assessment may not always be accurate (it may misidentify
writing that is likely AI generated as AI generated and AI paraphrased or likely AI generated and AI paraphrased writing as only AI generated) so it should not be used as the sole basis for
adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any
academic misconduct has occurred.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I interpret Turnitin's AI writing percentage and false positives?
The percentage shown in the AI writing report is the amount of qualifying text within the submission that Turnitin’s AI writing
detection model determines was either likely AI-generated text from a large-language model or likely AI-generated text that was
likely revised using an AI-paraphrase tool or word spinner.
False positives (incorrectly flagging human-written text as AI-generated) are a possibility in AI models.
AI detection scores under 20%, which we do not surface in new reports, have a higher likelihood of false positives. To reduce the
likelihood of misinterpretation, no score or highlights are attributed and are indicated with an asterisk in the report (*%).
The AI writing percentage should not be the sole basis to determine whether misconduct has occurred. The reviewer/instructor
should use the percentage as a means to start a formative conversation with their student and/or use it to examine the submitted
assignment in accordance with their school's policies.
What does 'qualifying text' mean?
Our model only processes qualifying text in the form of long-form writing. Long-form writing means individual sentences contained in paragraphs that make up a
longer piece of written work, such as an essay, a dissertation, or an article, etc. Qualifying text that has been determined to be likely AI-generated will be
highlighted in cyan in the submission, and likely AI-generated and then likely AI-paraphrased will be highlighted purple.
Non-qualifying text, such as bullet points, annotated bibliographies, etc., will not be processed and can create disparity between the submission highlights and the
percentage shown.

An Experiential Reader-Response Critique of Jonathan Swift’s "A Modest
Proposal"
Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal, written in 1729, is one of the most infamous
satirical pieces of writing to this date. The author uses satire and sarcasm to express his
displeasure towards the British government and the way the impoverished were treated through
advocating for the consumption of infants as a measure to solve poverty and overpopulation in
Ireland (Adams). What is striking about this work is not just its themes but also its capacity to
make one feel everything from excitement to disgust. To critically look at this work, the
experiential reader-response approach is critical. It is centered on the feelings evoked and/or the
change in feelings while reading a text (Cordell and Pennington, ch.6). This paper aims at
analyzing three versions of “A Modest Proposal”, including the original text and the video from
the viewpoint of Experiential Reader-Response criticism. In doing so, my goal is to uncover the
emotional and intellectual response that each version produces in the reader to show how reader
and text dynamically interrelate to understand Swift’s satire.
Initial Reading and Response:
When I first read this satirical text, the feeling that overcame me was a blend of horror
and confusion. The nonchalant manner in which Swift proposes people to eat babies as a solution

to issues of poverty and population growth is unpleasant and horrible. At first, I tried to pinch
myself to be certain that I was reading correctly, since the social problems that Swift was
focusing on were quite serious and, at the same time, his recommendation was absolutely
ridiculous. This juxtaposition of seriousness of the themes in the text with humor of the idea in
its finale made me shiver and want to rethink the intent of the text and its author.
Subsequent Readings:
When I worked with variations of ‘A Modest Proposal’, I could observe a profound
change of approaches from my side. Regarding the visual elements, there was imagery of the
children being turned into food products in a factory (Adams). These aspects augmented my
horror and disgust. The incorporation of the sights and sounds seemed to enhance the satire that
Swift was putting forward because it made it more alive. For instance, Swift says, "A young
healthy child well nursed is, at a year old, a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food"
(Adams). This use of the grotesque and clinical tone assisted in illustrating the horror involved in
the premise of Swift’s satire. As such, this version produced more impact emotionally for the
reason that the irony and the dark humor in the text had been depicted in a more subtle way but
their meanings were brought out much more bluntly here.
On the other hand, the plain text version of the proposal helped me to look at Swift’s
language and arguments in a better way. Since there were no distractions in terms of vision and
sound, I was even able to better understand the worked irony and the brilliant manner in which
he demonstrates that society dehumanizes the poor. My response to this piece in this context was
more analytic because I appreciated the irony employed to condemn the society’s apathy. Such
format enabled me to better evaluate every single argument and rhetoric Swift employed in the
piece, helping me more fully grasp its multifaceted nature.

Favorite Version and Why:
Of the various versions, the video one left the greatest impression on me as there is the
use of both visuals, audio and text. It gave me the feeling that I was a part of it and the emotions
evoked were deep. The use of the brutal and gory imagery as well as the proposal in clinical
language made the satire sharper and more impactful, since the coarseness brought out the
brutality and lack of compassion in Swift’s suggestion (Adams). For instance, witnessing an
infant on the kitchen table, and the chefs cooking them as a gourmet meal was far more real and
vivid, which enhanced the feeling of irony and dark humor (Adams). Also, in this version, the
element of shock was amplified, which contributed in strengthening the aspect of parody of the
society’s perceptions and the governments’ indifference. Moreover, the involvement of
multimedia added deeper emotional and cognitive dimensions to the process of reading and thus
made it much more effective and memorable.
Conclusion:
Through the Experiential Reader-Response approach, I noted that the way I approached
the first version of the work, as well as how I felt and thought about it, was vastly different from
the other versions of the work. The second piece that left a great impression on me was the video
adaptation where the satirical aspect of Swift’s writing seemed to come alive and have
significant impact on me as a reader of this work. Comparing various versions of the work
allowed me to analyze the process of mutual construction of the reader and the text and prove
how Swift’s satire can be interpreted in various ways depending on the reader.
