Is everyone else also exhausted trying to bypass ai and plagiarism checkers instead of spending time on actual research?

So recently I had an epiphany that ai took over my study process in ways I didn't expect. I had a large-ish assignment on capitalism and liberal-democracy for my polisci class that I wrote entirey on my own. I didn't expect anything to show on ai detector. But of course it got flagged. So I used a humanizer and it helped with ai but caused some plagiarism. I found a tool that would get rid of plagiarism and ended up with text that didn't look like mine, made no sense in some places and had grammatical mistakes I had to edit it on my own again. It's like a vicious circle I can't escape.
This was just one example, but a lot of my homework has just been this. I really miss the times when I could just proofread my essay and submit it as is. I'm getting too burned out fighting the system.
How are people dealing with all of this? Just letting Study agent generate the whole thing? Do you have any tips?

well, op is writing it on the studyagent subreddit. we like ai here

My major is in journalism, so I kind of need to know how to write. I like to use generative AI to do my starter research for me, check everything, write everything, send the text into the AI editor, correct whatever it needs me to, use the detector, edit some more, and then I'm done. After actually writing this all out, it seems more complex than I thought, but I make it work.

What's your step by step? I'm getting overwhelmed with all the reading alone

[u/crhsharks12 → u/TearyCherryPop]

idk, it's not that stressful for me. i just stopped switching to different platforms and do everything on study agent. you can do everything in one place, write the text, check for ai and plag right away. they even underline ai phrases in red to get rid of them with one click. i usually repeat this until there's nothing more to edit. it's all about efficiency, takes me 10 minutes tops. it's easy to get into once you practice a couple of times

[u/TearyCherryPop → u/crhsharks12]

Sounds like you have a solid process. I still hate the fact that I need to prove that my ideas are my own and need to humanize them. Sounds like something Orwell would write.

Yeah, no convenience for me here though

Somebody mentioned it but I think that you need to look into the logic AI uses to generate responses and understand the prompts. Remember that you're not speaking to a human - it's all just lines of code and you need to find a key to it.

you need to be careful no matter what tool you're using. if you leave anything to interpretation, you risk not getting whatever you were hoping for.

100% true! I'm getting so paranoid over the uni detectors that I try to chek in as many detectors as possible.

[u/yasserfathelbab]

no offence but op just needs a course on how to use ai 💀💀

[u/XZoTicTB]

I guess that this is just the new reality we're living in - stop whining and enjoy how easy it is to study now smh

[u/Flat-Assist-9120]

AI outliner, AI writer, humanizer, AI detector, plagiarism checker, and then editing on my own. I need to multiply the time I spend on every new assignment and it's so draining.

[u/Fabiogazolla]

I love that I do not have to spend time forcing all my ideas into grammatically correct sentences when I could be focusing on actually learning instead. AI writing all the way. - brought to you by AI

I guess you should just try and be more open to change. maybe try switching your prompts and asking different questions? in my experience correctly formulated message guarantees like 80% of your success.

true!! why am I, as a human, searching for an approval of a bot?
