AI Content and Plagiarism

Technically, AI-generated content is not plagiarism. Plagiarism, by definition, refers to copying other people’s content, whether you copy an article word for word or paraphrase it, to avoid detection.

Merriam-Webster defines plagiarism as taking someone else’s ideas or words and presenting them as one’s own. Since artificial intelligence tools generate unique content from scratch instead of stealing someone’s ideas, using an AI tool isn’t technically plagiarism, unlike copy-paste plagiarism.
