But they did that with the ChatGPT as well.
“. Most of them focused on reusing the tools’ output, therefore staying focused on copying and pasting
content, rather than incorporating their own original thoughts and editing those with their own
perspectives and their own experiences.”
Plagurising essays are EXACTLY in the same category. Let’s say you take an essay and you decide to paraphrase the whole thing as your own without ChatGPT.
You change the words around to different ones so it doesn’t match up in the TurnItIn plagurising detector.
You don’t need critical thought for that. You don’t need your own ideas or thoughts. You simply work with the material you got from the previously written essay – THE SAME AS working with ChatGPT.
Comparing Written to ChatGPT is apples and oranges.
Comparing edited plagurism and ChatGPT is oranges and oranges.

That’s how people plagurize. They either use one essay and rewrite it or they take several similar essays and glob together paragraphs keeping the sandwhich formats they have in common.

I know it’s allowing people to be lazy or go further than they could on their own. That’s all machines and tech.
So what? Humanity will adjust and build on it. People get scared over everything I swear.
