Can you tell what percentage of a paper was written using artificial intelligence?
Turnitin only supports English, Spanish and Japanese for this feature. If the essay is written in these languages, the filtering can be done, but Hungarian is not yet supported.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that most of these services are not fully reliable and may give wrong results, so it is recommended to treat the results with caution!
