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.

Evaluating Capacity and Defenses on Mental Impairment and Insanity

Introduction

Among all legal issues, law and emotional competence turns out to be the most complex and

multi-faceted one. It contains of diverse points of view and depicts a lot of legal questions. The

Capacity and Defenses are the essence of this problem and in this case relevantly; Mental

impairment and Insanity are paramount. It is these principles that have great impacts on the way

our country’s legal system is run, and which if not examined and re-evaluated, can be

detrimental to the country (Johnston, 2022). In the following piece, we will analyze the

elaborates between mental infliction and sanction together with the capacity and defenses in the

law. We will be secular that some persuasive methods for these notions are very important

quittance mile justice and fairness in the legal system. Under scrutiny of juridical and

psychopathological aspects of cognitive deficiencies or insanity we will show the necessity of

subtle and convincing definition of these categories to boost judicial system (Meynen, 2021).

Capacity and its Relationship with Mental Impairment

Besides its role in establishing the capacity for a person to hold legal responsibility and

competency, capacity has a pivotal position in cases involving defenses that are based on

psychological malfunction and mental impairment. In the context of the capacity notion, the link

with mental impairment is quite obvious as the power to grasp the significance of one’s decisions

and the consequences of one’s actions might be impaired not only by the capacity deficit.

Likewise, in jurisdiction of criminal law, somebody found not guilty by reason of insanity is not

made to bear the brunt of their actions because they do not understand the wrongness of them

since the happened (Malatesti et al., 2020). For instance, in the tort, if a person suffers damage

 Page 5 of 8 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2892073529

due to the fault of the other one and the person is not of the age of taking legal responsibility;

then also he/she is not bound by the Tort provisions. Interpretation of the capacity in law should

be considered with regard to a role mental impairment in the problem, and this role can act in the

way that the capacity of the person greatly depends on his ability to make informed decisions and

understand the outcomes of his behavior. The meeting point of the potentials and mental

limitations is fundamental to the determination of the ability of a person, and in turn to their legal

responsibility and fairness, thus by making justice fair and equalized. Several areas of life,

mental health awareness, are that ability might influence how people are attached, and that is

also by helping to defend individuals the unfair lack of treatment of persons who are affected

with mental impairment. Notwithstanding, the idea of capacity is an indispensable element of

law as it allows for individuals to exercise discretion within the law, and also increases their

comprehension of how their actions are going to impart consequences on everyone. It also

significantly impacts cases concerning mental incapacity where such capacities could be

affected. The capacity to block you from perceiving your errors or understand the nature of

contractual arrangements may be compromised. It is crucial to comprehend the connection

between whether or not capacity is impaired and mental disorder, with these subjects in mind,

would justice be served fairly and evenly.

Legal Defenses and Mental Impairment

In assessing the impact of impairments of mental health on legalized defense, crucially, one

ought to take into account the specific type of condition, as well as, available characteristics of

individuals who are diagnosed with mental health disorders or illnesses. One defense, as an

example, can be insanity pleading which a defendant can use as an excuse that way they will not

be responsible for the crime due to mental illness or disorder. This defense is founded on the

Page 5 of 8 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2892073529

 Page 6 of 8 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2892073529

doctrine that mental impairment of the defendants that leads to lack of understanding of the

wrongfulness of their own behaviour should exclude such persons from being held responsible in

the same way as people with sound ones. As well as the insanity defense, there are also a few

mercy drinks that can be given to the people who have mental incompetency because of their

reduced mental capacity. For instance, intellectual disabilities sometimes exempt individuals

from capital punishment, because they might have limitation in understanding the actuality of

their actions and the possible consequence.

The Role of the Insanity Defense in the Legal System

The insanity defense is pivotal with regard to the legal system because it can tremendously

influence the fate of the trail. A guilty mind is an element of crime, and when it is linked to the

crime committed by a defendant, the machine is used. An insanity mental condition is when a

person thinks that the reality is usually very different than reality, hence he/she performs

inappropriate actions that is led by a mental illness or defect. Take, as an example, the case about

John Hinckley Jr., a person who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan and as a result the

prosecution did not establish guilt and the offender was found not guilty by reason of insanity

(Johnston, 2022). However, this distinction between behavior arguably gave him the opportunity

to receive necessary treatment on mental hospital rather than ending up in a prison. Additionally,

the insanity defense might be also employed with the purpose of avoid unintentionally punishing

the individuals who succumb to consequences of their actions because of some mental conditions

they might possess. The law realizes how unfair it will be if an individual will be punished if he

is not capable of telling right from wrong soon enough or unable to perceive the consequences of

his deed. The insanity defense has long played a part in the legal system and it is crucial that we

examine how this defense preserves our justice system. Through the study of the defendant's

Page 6 of 8 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2892073529

 Page 7 of 8 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2892073529

state of mind, the legal system can decide what action will lead to the public receiving justice

while, at the same time, allowing the accused to exercise their lawful rights (Malatesti et al.,

2020). The insanity defense has established an essential function that relates to the legal system

being able to deliver justice (Johnston, 2022). The justice system weighs in on the disease state

as well as mental capabilities of the defendant so to best ensure that public protection and

defendant rights are upheld equally. This defense shields from burdening those in whom the

mental state is such that they are not capable to comprehend the criticism of what has been

offended upon.

Conclusion

In summary, declaring mental disabilities and insanity as two fundamental factors helps the law

to make in with sound mindedness and defenses. In law, the concept of capacity is of great

importance, it provides a means for judging whether an actor can fulfill the act

legally. Impairment of mental state disenables people to the extent of forming the aspect or

intention of responsibility. Moreover, the legal insanity plea requires a complex understanding of

mental health conditions and the concept. In the wake of the development of the mental health

and capacity research area, the prospect of law system modernizes and install tools for the

accurate and effective estimation of the mental condition and defenses is close at hand. By virtue

of this measure, the law all the same could manage to come up with evenhandedness and fairness

for everyone, along with the mentally ill citizens too.
