Turnitin is in weird spot. And probably impossible one. Academic writing is trained to be academic writing. With mesta text and phrases. And students and writers tend to follow conventions they see in other academic texts. As do AI.

On some level the human output in academic setting is expected to be well formulaic in way AI generated text is.

Which often could lead to false positives.
