Yes, Turnitin can detect some forms of AI-assisted writing and report on indicators of contract cheating. Turnitin has been developing tools to recognize the signature of AI writing and they are already able to detect some types of AI-assisted writing. They have successfully developed an AI writing detector that identifies 97 percent of ChatGPT and GPT3 authored writing with a very low less than 1/100 false positive rate. So it is possible that Turnitin can detect AI written content.
Here are some sources about the topic:

However I'm not sure if they can detect a well prompted gpt-4 texts; even if they could do today, I'm not sure about the future. Because ai is developing very fast.
