Frequently Asked Questions

What does the percentage mean?


The percentage shown in the AI writing detection indicator and in the AI writing report is the amount of qualifying text within the
submission that Turnitin's AI writing detection model determines was generated by AI.

Our testing has found that there is a higher incidence of false positives when the percentage is less than 20. In order to reduce the
likelihood of misinterpretation, the AI indicator will display an asterisk for percentages less than 20 to call attention to the fact that
the score is less reliable.

However, the final decision on whether any misconduct has occurred rests with the reviewer/instructor. They should use the
percentage as a means to start a formative conversation with their student and/or use it to examine the submitted assignment in
greater detail according to their school's policies.

How does Turnitin's indicator address false positives?


Our model only processes qualifying text in the form of long-form writing. Long-form writing means individual sentences contained in paragraphs that make up a
longer piece of written work, such as an essay, a dissertation, or an article, etc. Qualifying text that has been determined to be AI-generated will be highlighted blue
on the submission text.

Non-qualifying text, such as bullet points, annotated bibliographies, etc., will not be processed and can create disparity between the submission highlights and the
percentage shown.

What does 'qualifying text' mean?


Sometimes false positives (incorrectly flagging human-written text as AI-generated), can include lists without a lot of structural variation, text that literally repeats
itself, or text that has been paraphrased without developing new ideas. If our indicator shows a higher amount of AI writing in such text, we advise you to take that
into consideration when looking at the percentage indicated.

In a longer document with a mix of authentic writing and AI generated text, it can be difficult to exactly determine where the AI writing begins and original writing
ends, but our model should give you a reliable guide to start conversations with the submitting student.

Disclaimer
Our AI writing assessment is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. Our AI writing assessment may not always be accurate (it may misidentify
both human and AI-generated text) so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an
organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any academic misconduct has occurred.

The Persuasive Power of “Letter from Birmingham Jail”

Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail" exemplifies persuasive writing.

Written in 1963 while King was imprisoned for organizing civil rights protests, the letter

responds to criticism from eight white clergy members and aims to justify nonviolent resistance

to racism. King's purpose is to defend civil disobedience as a legitimate form of activism

against unjust laws. He crafts an insightful argument using compelling rhetorical techniques,

including ethos, pathos, logos, and rhetorical questions. Ultimately, "Letter from Birmingham

Jail" is a persuasive masterpiece in which King morally elevates his movement above its critics.

King establishes his goodwill and ethical appeal by politely justifying his presence in

Birmingham as a guest of affiliated organizations. He adopts a respectful tone even when

expressing disappointment with the clergymen's criticism of the timing of the protests, writing,

"I hope to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms" (par. 3).

This serves to construct King as a credible leader seeking moral progress through nonviolence.

King further enhanced his character by highlighting his leadership role in the Southern

Christian Leadership Conference, invoking his authority and reputation as an influential civil

rights figure. Developing this strong ethical appeal is crucial for King to be seen as a respected

voice of reason rather than a dangerous agitator.

In addition to ethos, King uses pathos to elicit sympathy for African Americans

suffering under segregation. He provides a litany of painful examples: "vicious mobs

lynch[ing] your mothers and fathers,” hate-filled policemen abusing blacks, the daily

indignities of segregation, and unsolved bombings of churches (par. 12). This draws the

emotions of the reader, generating outrage against such injustice to morally justify civil

disobedience. Emotional language, like describing segregation as an "airtight cage of poverty,"

puts a human face on oppression to compel support for the civil rights movement. By vividly

detailing the brutality and hardship endured by blacks, King aims to awaken the conscience of

the white moderates to recognize segregation as a grave moral crisis requiring action.

Logos is also deftly utilized as King argues that segregation contradicts morality and

natural law. He pronounces that "an unjust law is no law at all" and "one has a moral

responsibility to disobey unjust laws" (par. 14-16). This appeal to longstanding philosophical

and religious principles provides a logical basis for breaking segregation laws without

sanctioning general lawlessness. King bolsters the reasonableness of his case by invoking

historical examples of justified civil disobedience from Shadrach and Jesus to reinforce that

not all law-breaking is unethical. This appeal to logic frames civil disobedience not as a

criminal disorder but a principled moral duty in the face of legalized injustice.

Beyond these classic appeals, King's brilliant use of rhetorical questioning gives

persuasive power to his arguments. After vividly detailing the evils of segregation, he asks

rhetorically how the clergymen can worry about merely the timing of protests in the face of

such injustice: "I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind

of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes"

(par. 10). This questioning calls out the privileged blindness of the clergymen to necessitate

bolder action. Additional rhetorical questions, like asking if negotiated patience somehow

redeems oppression, further King's case for active resistance. The disarming use of questioning

guides the audience to reconsider their views in light of King's moral arguments.

While a persuasive text, "Letter from Birmingham Jail" does have some rhetorical

limitations. Its substantial length, spanning many pages, challenges the patience of readers. A

more concise expression of King's core arguments may have enabled swifter persuasion.

Furthermore, King's passionate condemnations of moderates and the church for their inaction

could be overly accusatory for the clergy members's audience, potentially eliciting

defensiveness rather than conversion to his cause. A constructive call to action may have been

more effective. Nevertheless, these minor weaknesses do not significantly detract from the

overall persuasive power of "Letter from Birmingham Jail." The letter remains incredibly

impactful despite its length and sharper critiques.

King morally elevates his nonviolent movement over its critics through insightful

arguments and skillful rhetoric. The eloquent "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is a persuasive

text and a work of profound inspiration that continues to resonate today. It remains a timeless

testament to the power of words to advocate for justice. King's brilliance is in framing civil

disobedience not as radical lawlessness but as a moral obligation in the face of legalized

immorality. This moral framing was instrumental in gathering broader sympathy and support

for the civil rights movement, bringing national attention to the urgent need to dismantle

segregation. The letter's historic impact speaks to its sheer rhetorical excellence.

In conclusion, "Letter from Birmingham Jail" showcases Martin Luther King Jr.'s gifts

as a persuasive writer and thinker. Through appeals to ethics, emotion, and logic, King puts

forward an eloquent moral argument that compelled the national conscience. The letter stands

as a rhetorical masterpiece and a literary monument that advanced the cause of civil rights

through its words' simple yet profound power. It remains required reading for understanding

the power of persuasive writing to shape society for the better. The letter's elegance, insight,

and persuasive force reveal King's role not only as an activist but as a visionary artist uniquely

capable of touching the conscience of a nation. It remains essential reading for understanding

the transformative power of persuasive writing and oratory.
