From 79% to 0% AI: A Guide to Bypassing Turnitin with an AI Humanizer

In the days when I was writing my graduation thesis, what bothered me most was the duplicate checking rate. When I saw the string of red characters on the duplicate checking report - the AI rate was 80%, I wondered at the content on the screen. It was clearly my typing word by word. How could it be all my "handwriting"? Over the next week or so, I tried many methods, from free tools to payment platforms, to understand how my AI rate was reduced. Here I summarize my own effective methods of personal testing, which can help you control the AI rate within a safe range, whether it is Turnitin or ithenticate.

1 Free tools to reduce AI rate

If only the local AI rate is high or the first screening is conducted, I have no problem with these free tools, but they should be adjusted manually.

1.1 Gemini is suitable for local rewriting

Manually supplement logic. I used it to correct a paper with an AI rate of 76%, and changed it to about 30%, which is very fast. Prompt words: help me rewrite the content of this paper, be academic, disorganize the order of sentences, use words flexibly, don't lose the core point, and can't modify the whole article. For example, copying section by section takes too much time, and there is a little logical fault. Read it again after modification.

1.2 Grok is fast and suitable for DDL

Copy and paste the results in a few seconds, which can quickly change the "high suspected AI segment" into "low suspected", saving a lot of time. However, the rewriting depth is not enough, so we can only replace the synonyms, the sentence structure has not changed, but only do the "preliminary weight reduction", and we have to rewrite it if we want to complete it.

1.3 Chatgpt/gpt-5 is only suitable for touch up and not suitable for AI reduction

At the beginning, I also used GPT to modify, so that the AI rate was higher. (later, I learned that the content logic written in GPT was too "neat", and the connection was too smooth. Instead, it was more like that written by machine. Now I can only polish it in a small range, such as rewriting a difficult sentence. It is basically impossible to reduce the AI rate through it.

2 Prompt words+manual adjustment

No matter how good the tool is, it must be equipped with the right method. Summarize several prompt words suitable for GPT, which can be used directly when modifying.

• Prompt word 1: rewrite this paragraph according to the standard of the paper. The order of the sentences is disrupted, and 30% of synonyms are deleted. Data and quotation are the focus.
• Prompt word 2: cancel the conjunctions such as "first", "second" and "third", and adopt a more natural cohesion, plus the subject (such as "this article" and "research").
• Prompt word 3: the paragraph logic remains unchanged. Open 2-3 short sentences and add some explanatory content (such as "from the perspective of XX").
