I tested three different AI writing detector tools on the same essay and got three different results

I was curious about how reliable these tools actually are, so I ran an experiment. I took an old essay I wrote before ChatGPT even existed—like, 2019 pre-AI era—and ran it through three popular AI writing detector websites. One said it was 2% AI-generated (basically human). Another said it was 27% AI-generated. A third flagged it as 68% AI-generated and said it was 'likely written by AI.' Same essay. Written by me, years before AI was a thing. Three completely different results. This is terrifying because professors are using these tools to make life-changing decisions about students' academic careers. If detectors can't agree on a human-written essay from 2019, how can anyone trust them? has comparisons showing different detectors give wildly varying scores. Has anyone else tested detectors on old work? What did you find?

Testing different AI tools for essay writing sounds like a smart move! It's wild how AI can give such varied results. I guess that's the beauty of technology, right? When it comes to Texas colleges, man, each one has its own unique vibe. I'm currently at a college in Texas where the sports culture is huge – GO TEAM!

Have any of y'all experienced that intense school spirit at your Texas college? I've found balancing practice, classes, and social life to be a real challenge. How do y'all manage your time effectively while still crushing it academically?

Any tips or tricks you've picked up along the way? And hey, have any of you taken any interesting Kinesiology courses in Texas? I'm looking to spice up my schedule next semester.
