This app is garbage. Unless a student uses terrible grammar or spelling, it marks everything as AI. Its nothing but a headache that causes unnecessary angst in students and non-stop or unnecessary follow-up and due diligence for professors.

Turnitin deleted all the feedback I had written without giving me the chance to recover it, wasting a considerable amount of work. This is unacceptable.

North Korea could make a better plagiarism detector than this. Even the penguins from Madagascar would have put in more effort and delivered a better plagiarism/AI detector than this. Shame

Is this a joke? Universities pay money to this scam of a software? Who code it this? As all other users have mentioned, it literally takes anything that is similar to anything else out there as plagiarism, and this means titles and references, even your won university name is "plagiarized", this is so bad i dont have words for it. And yet they are still getting paid by universities... a joke.

Unfortunately, I could not give a 0.2 stars out of 5. I cited my quotes, gave my references, wrote "Literature review, introduction, definitions" and this damn apps highlights everything. It even highlights phrases that have nothing to do with the content raising the similarity report to 22%. And on top of that, my Uni insists that this application can store my data- more like steal it. My best advice is, ensure that it is highlighting words that is used in the same context, else it is useless.

The fact that the destiny of some students is in the hands of the institutions that rely on this software, which is far from accurate, is terrifying.

Turnitin appears to be operating as a profit-driven machine, enabled by its dominant position in the market. Despite its public emphasis on “integrity,” it continues to promote claims of 98% accuracy that are increasingly difficult to justify given the evident unreliability of its AI-detection system. Generative AI has only become widespread in the past few years, yet an essentially unvalidated tool is now being used to judge students’ work, often producing significant false positives. The fact that the system has even flagged the Bible as 75% AI-generated raises serious questions about the credibility and scientific robustness of their methodology.
