German politicians have too many #plagiarism scandals to count. If the bar is that low, I should go into German politics because I know I actually wrote my own dissertation!

Food for thought as more than a few academics go all gung ho about #AI and ChatGPT, teaching with it (or at least putting up with it). Makes me glad I am no longer a regular classroom teacher.

I was a little worried that I might have lost my writing ability, since my last writing class was 30-*cough*-some years ago.

In a victory of human versus robot, I was able to produce a research paper for my #gradschool class with 0% #ChatGPT, and 0% #plagiarism as shown by the picture below.

It can be interesting to try to work out the sources used by the #NewTestament authors. Here are some examples from both the author of #Matthew and the author of #Luke-#Acts that ultimately come from #Aesop's #Fables.

AI Detection Tools Falsely Accuse International Students of Cheating

#AI #AIDetector #GenerativeAI #Plagiarism #HigherEd: "People typically have bigger vocabularies and a better grasp of complex grammar in their first languages. This means non-native English speakers tend to write more simply in English. So does ChatGPT. In fact, it mimics human writing by parsing everything it has ever processed and crafting sentences using the most common words and phrases. Even if AI detectors aren’t specifically trained to flag less complex writing, the tools learn to do so by seeing over and over that AI-generated writing is less complex.

Weixin Liang, one of the authors of the Stanford study, learned Cantonese and Mandarin before English. He was skeptical about claims of near-perfect accuracy with AI detectors and wanted to look more closely at how they worked for students with linguistic backgrounds like his.

“The design of many GPT detectors inherently discriminates against non-native authors, particularly those exhibiting restricted linguistic diversity and word choice,” Liang said via email."

#ChatGPT is running out of #money because they haven't actually figured out how to make money with the #plagiarism engine they created.

#Like to #charge, #reblog to #cast.

The Ship of Thesis problem: if you replace every word in that paper you downloaded from the internet, is it still #plagiarism?

Someone steals my story and even sells it without my permission. War engaged... tomorrow 😂

#plagiarism

@emerybrooks I'm not a publisher, I am a hobbiest writer, so perhaps I don't have a stake in this discussion, but... #Ebooks provide some very wonderful things for the #disabled community.

My ex-wife in her dying years was too weak to hold up a book and didn't have the dexterity (I don't want to get into her health issues though) to hold a book and turn pages. She could prop a tablet on her lap when she would sit up in bed to eat and read.

I had a girlfriend once who was #blind and I'm still good friends with her. If she doesn't have an ebook or other electronic form she just can't read it. Yes, there are audio books but that can be exceptionally expensive for small publishers / authors.

There's also me, myself, I'm #dyslexic -- the only 2 ways I can comfortably read a text is #audiobook or with the #opendyslexic font on a #kindle / similar #ereader / tablet. For me, yes I can see the words but it is such a cognitive load to read a paperback or hardcover that I just won't do it, it isn't worth it.

So yes, you are of course worried about #plagiarism of #AI -- I agree with you. It is a HUGE issue. However, there are legal remedies for someone using your name without consent, passing things off / impersonating you. I know that legal remedy isn't available for everyone but -- it is there. Please don't advocate for those who have difficulty reading paper books to lose the ability to do so when there are other options.

Those with disabilities are marginalized enough, if you really want to get into this issue check out the hashtags and talk to the communities that it would be impacting. Please, please, understand that many of these people just don't experience the world the way the average person does. Consider that equipment for disabled people is exceedingly expensive. For example, a #braille terminal for a #visuallyimpaired person costs almost $3000! So when there is such an easy way to get the text into the hands of a blind person ready for a screen reader or other device to read it for them, please don't advocate take it away.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 80.
Very different from Babel, Rebecca F.Kuang's new book Yellowface (2023) looks at the #publishing industry, #identity #politics & #plagiarism. The (unreliable?) narrator concocts a tale of self-justification for stealing her dead friend's book & making it her own. Exploring the role of #socialmedia, Kuang lands most of her critique pretty well & she assembles the quasi-thriller, social fable & rumination on friendship into a readable tale
@bookstodon

This feature can certainly be quite handy but it does also feel like it could easily facilitate #academic #plagiarism.

Maybe that's just #AI 🤷‍♂️
