Yes, Scribbr’s Plagiarism Checker, powered by Turnitin, can sometimes detect a portion of AI-generated text fragments. However, it doesn't catch all of them, especially when the AI output closely resembles phrases from its training data. Plagiarism checkers can sometimes identify AI writing accidentally, but they're not consistently reliable for this purpose.

However, no need to worry! Scribbr offers a built-in AI Detector when you buy our Premium Plagiarism Checker. This tool is specifically designed to identify AI-generated text and is therefore much more reliable for this purpose.
