Could artificial intelligence fool programs such as Turnitin? If Artificial Intelligence is used as a tool like an encyclopedia, or Wikipedia, maybe. I believe all compositions need to be original work, with citations, just like the era before Wikipedia and the Internet.
AI detection software is definitely not foolproof. Lots of false positives and negatives. Whereas it's very easy for TurnItIn to spot plagiarism from a site like Wikipedia, since you can literally compare the submitted work to the suspected source side by side. That's not how generative AI works, so detection software has to use other techniques to identify what's *likely* to have been written by a machine.
A challenge, but not impossible. I've been gratified by the originality and quality of the essays my students have been writing for my summer course on WWI.

Respectfully, it sounds like it will be a battle to get students to compose works the old fashioned way and proves it.
