    I can understand the plagiarism argument, though you have to extend the definition of it. If I am expected to write an essay, but I use ChatGPT instead, then I am fraudulently presenting the work as my own. Plagiarism might not be the right word, or maybe it’s a case where language is going to evolve so that plagiarism includes passing off AI generated work as your own. Either way it’s cheating unless I was specifically allowed to use AI.

      If the argument and the sources are incongruous, that isn’t the fault of the LLM/AI. That’s the authors fault for not proofreading and editing.

      You assume an inherent morality of LLMs but they are amoral constructs. They are tools, and you limit yourself by not learning them.

        I didn’t say anything about the sources being incongruent? That’s a completely separate issue. We were talking about plagiarism.

        I don’t understand the morality comment either, I didn’t ascribe any morality to AI, I was talking about whether using them fits the definition of plagiarism or not.

        If you are expected to write it yourself, and you use an LLM to generate it, then that’s cheating in my opinion. Yes, of course we shoukd learn to use AI, but if you are told to do something and you get a person or LLM to do it for you, then you didn’t complete the task as you were told. And at university that can have consequences.
