Hello Guys

Recently I submited and assesment for my history class at Uni and i got suspected of using AI. The annoying thing is though I genuinly did not use it.

Im not being acused of Ai sounding writing but instead summarising a source incorrectly in a way that they beilve is a AI generated summary. They specifically said that my summary of a review article “does not reflect the review at all,” and that this suggests either fabricated content or GenAI use.

They offered me an option to redo the annoyed bibliography bit but the score i can get is capped at 50%, plus i have to find 4 whole new sources even though only 1 was flagged

For context, I’m a first-year student taking a second-year history unit, so I’m already a bit out of my depth and honestly really stressed and confused about what to do. Has anyone dealt with something similar before? Is this considered formal academic misconduct, or more of a warning/remediation situation?

When speaking to my sister she said I should just redo as there is no way I can really argue i didn't use ai. However i'm svared that if I do that it will be permanently on my record and peoole will think I'm using Ai.

Here is the wording from the email:

"Your research essay proposal has been flagged by unit staff as showing signs of generative AI use in its production.

Specifically, you have provided a summary of Ian Duffield’s review of Raelene Frances and Bruce Scates’ book Women at Work in Australia that does not reflect the review at all. This suggests that you have concocted the content of the book, and/or that GenAI has been used to produce summaries of the materials you have accessed.”

Hello guys !

Recently I did an assesment for my history class at uni and it got flagged for AI. Funny thing is though I DIDNT USE IT. It's not even being flagged to say like oh my writing is to AI sounding, im being accused of using AI to summarise a text for me which in turn gave me a wrong summary. I'm really conflicted on if I should email them back because on one hand my sister is telling me there is no way to prove my incocents and i should just be happy i get a second chance to re do. Bur on the other hand if I just accept it will it permenantly be on my record and will it make all my teachers/tutours think im a AI user and it's me admiting guilt. I'd really like some advice on wtf to do bevauze i'm a first year and it's rlly frustrating. Below I will attatch what the email entailed.
