Finally got a hold of the Orion Newby vs. Adelphi University judgment.

In short, Adelphi used Turnitin to accuse Orion, a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder, of using generative AI to write an essay. He was sanctioned and experienced harm. He spent over $100K in legal fees and won.

People with ASD have been reported to have higher rates of false positives from Turnitin's AI detector. Stop using Turnitin if you don't want lawsuits.
