Overview
This report presents a benchmark experiment evaluating whether the Turnitin0 humanizer can effectively bypass Turnitin's AI detection system. The study uses a dataset of 174 humanized essays (204,736 words) generated by GPT-5.6-Sol and processed through Turnitin0, spanning 30 majors across five domains. The primary metric is word-level accuracy—the percentage of words correctly identified as human-written by Turnitin's detector.
- Overall word accuracy is 76.44% (156,497 correct words out of 204,736 total words), indicating that Turnitin0 humanization successfully evades detection for the majority of text.
- Domain performance varies: Education achieves 100% accuracy (6,750/6,750 words), while Humanities shows the lowest at 70.83% (38,231/53,976 words).
- Major-level results: Education (100%), Environmental Science (98.04%), and History (94.34%) are the most effective; English (55.41%) and Political Science (55.94%) are the least.
- Academic level: Undergraduate essays (80.63% accuracy) outperform graduate essays (72.03%).
- Word count: Longer essays (1,200-word bucket) achieve 78.3% accuracy, compared to 68.39% for 400-word essays and 63.8% for 800-word essays.
- Dataset: 174 humanized essays (204,736 words) generated by GPT-5.6-Sol and processed through Turnitin0, covering 30 majors across Business, Education, Humanities, Psychology, and STEM.
- Word count distribution: Essays are grouped into 400-word (49 articles), 800-word (12 articles), and 1,200-word (113 articles) buckets.
- Academic levels: 84 graduate-level and 90 undergraduate-level essays.
- Evaluation metric: Word-level accuracy—the proportion of words correctly flagged as human-written by Turnitin's AI detection system.
- No ESL content was included in the dataset.
- Scoring unit: accuracy is measured in words. First identify correct paragraphs under the expectation below, then sum the words in those paragraphs for the correct-word count; total words are summed over all counted paragraphs.
- Correct paragraph: a counted paragraph that was not flagged as AI. Correct words are the words in those paragraphs.
- References excluded: from a References/Bibliography-style heading onward, those paragraphs are left out of word counts.
- Limited domain coverage: Education and Psychology have only 6 articles each, while STEM has 86, potentially skewing domain-level comparisons.
- Total articles: 174
- Total words: 204,736
- Correct words: 156,497
- Word accuracy: 76.44%
This overall result shows that Turnitin0 humanization successfully evades Turnitin AI detection for the majority of text.
- Education: 100% accuracy (6,750/6,750 words) — highest among domains.
- Psychology: 90.81% accuracy (7,036/7,748 words).
- STEM: 78.48% accuracy (78,584/100,129 words).
- Business: 71.67% accuracy (25,896/36,133 words).
- Humanities: 70.83% accuracy (38,231/53,976 words) — lowest.
- Top majors: Education (100%), Environmental Science (98.04%), History (94.34%), Physics (93.83%), Psychology (90.81%).
- Bottom majors: English (55.41%), Political Science (55.94%), Health Sciences (62.28%), Communications (63.39%), Finance (64.37%).
- Mid-range majors: Biology (88.33%), Computer Science (86.27%), Pre-Med (87.46%), Criminal Justice (80.77%).
- Variation is wide: from 55.41% to 100% accuracy across 30 majors.
- Undergraduate: 80.63% accuracy (84,646/104,980 words) — higher evasion rate.
- Graduate: 72.03% accuracy (71,851/99,756 words) — lower evasion rate.
- The difference suggests that undergraduate-level text is easier to humanize effectively.
- 1,200-word essays: 78.3% accuracy (132,985/169,830 words) — best performance.
- 400-word essays: 68.39% accuracy (18,513/27,070 words).
- 800-word essays: 63.8% accuracy (4,999/7,836 words) — lowest.
- Longer essays tend to achieve higher evasion rates, possibly due to more context for humanization.
