REFLECTION
Generative AI writing tools has been a disruptive technology in education, and specifically for assessing written assignments.
As these tools continue to improve and become more pervasive in society, the role of anti-plagiarism detection tools, such as Turnitin, becomes increasingly important in fostering a culture of originality and integrity in the learning environment.

its large proprietary database of written works, which they use for their similarity reports
ease of accessibility: either for stand-alone, personal online use or integrated in commonly used LMSs
a focus on Generative AI writing detection
