Oh fucking hell I hate this thing.

I am going back to school through work. I didn't have this bullshit in my younger days. It's made me drop my honors courses due to an asinine endless loop of hell.

Whatever X percent matches as plagiarism. Professor says Y% is calculated for, for template formatting, etc. Still have some highlights of 3-4 words here and there, starting or ending paragraphs, "describe "blah"" answers that no matter how you re-word them something highlights. OK. Get creative with wording and phrasing, rewrite again.

Now I'm pinged as using AI to do my writing. What?! Asshat prof basically has to side teach me where to check for this, school doesn't have a tool. Fucker, I am old and can write faster than some chatbot. They've prob been trained on my whole generations writings.

Anyway. If I cleared the plagiarism, I failed the AI writing check. If I corrected my paper and cleared the AI check, I failed the plagiarism again. Fuck Turnitin.
