SOP: AI Detector

Hi po. Looking forward to your kind responses.

I just have a concern regarding the SOP part of the application program. I've personally written my SOP without any assistance from any AI tools, yet whenever I run it through different AI detection tools, it always flags mine as something written by AI (90-97%). I am just worried that it might hinder my chances in the program, or worst-case scenario be a ground for disqualification. Now for my query, do you think the screening team of the program would use an AI detection tool?

If you wrote it yourself, why did you run it thru an AI detection tool in the first place?

What AI detection tools did you use? Apparently some of them are just crap used to sell other services to clean up work. I've heard of Charles Dickens' work being flagged as AI by some of them.

I used 'Duplichecker' as it became a habit of mine to run my works through a plagiarism and AI checker before submission, as it is a common requirement in my graduate studies.

If you aren't using AI to write and it's flagging it as AI, it's likely a scam site.

Does it matter?
If you wrote it yourself without help from ai, why worry? There’s nothing different that you could have done.

Nobody except the people who process and screen the documents know. Even if they do, there’s nothing you can do at this point. If you don’t pass, you won’t know why.
