GPT is not plagiarism. There is no mechanism for it to even be able to cite sources even if we wanted to. I think it’s important that people try to gain at least an elementary understanding of how generative AI works. It’s not like it’s copying and pasting blocks of text from published articles. It’s not even copying and pasting entire words. It’s simply generating syllables (or tokens) based on the statistical likelihood of what should come after its input prompt—based on its current trained dataset. Nothing more. I hardly consider that plagiarism.
