I’m a non-native English speaker, so I stick to simple sentence structures and standard vocabulary to avoid mistakes. My essays are often flagged as AI-generated, even though they’re not. Is the system biased against writers like me?

Yes, there is a structural bias. Non-native writers tend to use safer, more predictable language, which overlaps with AI-generated patterns. Detectors do not account for linguistic background, making certain groups disproportionately vulnerable to false positives.
