A Note for Students

If you're using QuillBot to paraphrase content for academic papers, be aware that many universities now use AI detection tools that flag QuillBot-paraphrased text. Turnitin's AI detector specifically identifies AI-paraphrased content. It's better to learn to write in your own voice than to rely on paraphrasing tools.
