I was worried about this as well, but I’m in undergrad and have run into zero issues. When teachers allow us to see the percentage similarity to AI text I’ve always had under 10%, usually under 5% if you omit direct quotations. I can’t imagine it gets more likely you’ll get dinged as your subject gets more arcane. The only time I’ve seen people in trouble for it are for really obvious plagiarism or AI use.
