The simple answer to this question is yes. There is a chance you will get flagged for plagiarism if you use Grammarly to rewrite your paper.
However, there are some determining factors to this;
- The degree of editing that is done by Grammarly. Using premium Grammarly to change essence of the initial writeup will result in flagging for plagiarism.
- The Plagiarism Checker used to determine use of AI writing tools; Some checkers like Turnitin and other Tools Google uses in ranking content can easily pick up AI written content. There are other checkers like ZeroGPT that are less thorough.
- How one goes about their editing also determines if the output will be flagged. Using Grammarly to edit should not be a blind effort, where all suggestions are accepted as true. Proper human judgement should be exercised, otherwise the paper’s tone could pick that of an AI written paper.

Does ChatGPT Content Get Flagged for Plagiarism If Rewritten By Grammarly?
When you write content using chatGPT then rewrite it with Grammarly, the content will still be flagged for plagiarism. While the content may bypass detection with the low-tier plagiarism checkers, or affiliated plag-checkers, such as Grammarly’s plagiarism checkers, they are often bound to be detected by the high-ranking checkers such as Turnitin. The spinning technique used by AI rewriting tools simply fails the originality test when tested against AI detecting algorithms.

You Also Loose The Human Touch
Grammarly is a market leader in the industry of AI editing tools. It started more than 10 years ago when AI capabilities were still not being exploited in the world of academic writing. The company has continued to refine its capabilities. However, this has come at the risk of losing the sentience that comes with human writing.
Human writing brings life to generative text AI. Human communication often involves ambiguity, subtle nuances, cultural inferences, humor, and subtleties that are challenging for AI and AI humanizing tools to navigate accurately. Grammarly will struggle to impart these realities in your writing.

Call To Action
It may be worth exploring human rewriting or human editing services as opposed to using Grammarly in this regard. Also, you could engage a human editor to help with the edit process using Grammarly so that a professional can guide in the appropriate use.
Despite the hype around ChatGPT and its capabilities, one might still need to rewrite ChatGPT content and make it more human. Humanizing ChatGPT content will not be achieved using Grammarly. Instead, having human editors or human proofreaders assist may be the best option, to the very least, to bypass Turnitin detection.
