PaperRater.com claims to be a plagiarism checker that helps students avoid plagiarism claims but in reality, it is just a botched AI program. How can I say this? Well, my teacher asked our class to submit our papers via this website so that we can include the paper checker information for free when we submit our work. I noticed that it flagged a particular phrase, "Nothing could be further from the truth", as being plagiarized from a blog site. It asked me to properly reference the phrase to avoid plagiarism deductions. Huh? I mean, what? Since when did an idiom need to be referenced? Does that make sense to anybody here? I submitted my paper to my teacher without referencing that phrase and he did not seem to have any problem with it. So why did the program flag it then?
