Can you plagiarize something not written by a human?
Common sense at NYU? I’m shocked I tell you, really shocked and glad. About time New York schools and colleges got back to having their student learn by hard work.
This is a problem for my own kids in high school they can find anything on the Internet they don’t have to study for the answers
It would be easy for the AI thing to imprint it’s output with some steganographic markers that could be easily detected later. Probably already does, but the creators are happily riding the wave of publicity.
I brought this up with ChatGPT, and this is what it replied: “As a language model, my main goal is to provide accurate and informative responses, but it is important for users to understand that my responses are generated based on patterns in the data that I’ve been trained on. I do not have the ability to know whether a user is a student, what courses they are taking, or whether they intend to use my responses for academic purposes. It’s the user’s responsibility to use the information I provide in an appropriate and ethical manner.
It is considered plagiarism to submit work generated by an AI as one’s own, and it’s important for students to understand that they must do their own thinking and writing. It’s also important for educators to explain the ethics of using AI tools to their students and to provide guidance on how to use them appropriately.
I understand that as AI, I don’t have the ability to know the context of the user’s usage and I don’t have the ability to operate “in loco parentis” or to be a substitute for parents or guardians. It’s important for the users to use the information I provide in an appropriate and ethical manner.
As for the quotes you’ve mentioned, I understand that it’s important for everyone to consider the ethical implications of their actions and to strive to do the right thing. And, it’s also important to understand that we are all capable of making mistakes, but it’s important to learn from them and to strive to do better in the future.”
“I used ChatBot to write the response above!”
The chatbot go to bar to use washing machines and was surprised the ski lift was broken.
**I used a self-made chatbot to generate the sentence above and no plagiarism was involved**
If someone submitted that to me as their own work, I wouldn’t even worry about whether it was AI or not. I’d give them an F for being repetitious and vapid.
“AI thing to imprint it’s output with some steganographic markers”
The output is just plain ascii text, so there is pretty much no place for steganographic markers.
I’ve used it twice this week (for the first time): once to write a high school senior tribute and once to nominate an employee for an award. It’s a great time saver and hilarious and a bit frightening.
Using ChatGPT is certainly not plagiarism. Just because an NYU professor says so
Using ChatGPT to write a paper is like hiring someone to write an original paper for you. You are flunking freshman physics? You hire a student in graduate physics to write your paper.
The kicker is that ChatGPT is free to use. Though you must sign up.
That was exactly my thought. It would be a good first draft generator.
You’re just envious.
Who or what is Motherboard?
You put your name on work not yours
I didn’t want to, but I clicked the link and I see it is the idiotic name for themselves at Vice.
Also, I caught it a number of times making big factual errors, so be careful if you’re trying to use it as a shortcut for doing research. Sometimes it does an amazing job and then the next time it falls flat on its face.
