Answering a question on social media using a language model like ChatGPT is not plagiarism, as long as you are not presenting someone else's work, ideas, or content as your own. ChatGPT generates responses based on its training data and algorithms, and it doesn't have the capability to plagiarize because it doesn't have access to specific external sources unless they have been explicitly integrated into its training.
However, it's essential to be clear about the source of the information when using a tool like ChatGPT to answer questions on social media or any other platform. If you're using information or ideas generated by the AI, you should make it clear that the response was generated by an AI model and not by you personally. This transparency helps avoid any confusion and ensures that proper credit is given to the technology used.
In summary, using an AI like ChatGPT to answer questions is not plagiarism, but it's important to attribute the source correctly and be transparent about the AI's involvement in generating the response.
I believe that when you give a direct quote from another source, there should always be a citation to that source. Otherwise, people will mistakenly credit you as the source of information that you did not generate on your own.
So, simply begin such a posting with a statement like, "According to ChatGPT:"
Cite ChatGPT just like any other citation or do what David L Morgan says :)

Copy That – Joe Biden's Long Record Of Plagiarism?

I agree with David L Morgan . It's such a simple solution. And it's curious why it's so strongly resisted.
And I have no idea what Joe Biden or pigeons have to do with the issue.
Here's a quote from Wikipedia about thylacines. Not relevant, but I like them. (Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thylacine, retrieved 2023-10-10).
"The thylacine ... , also commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf, is an extinct carnivorous marsupial that was native to the Australian mainland and the islands of Tasmania and New Guinea. The thylacine died out on New Guinea and mainland Australia around 3,600-3,200 years ago, prior to the arrival of Europeans, possibly because of the introduction of the dingo, whose earliest record dates to around the same time, but which never reached Tasmania."
