Put it differently, would you acknowledge AI in your academic writing as source of your information?

Academic institutions should embrace generative AI as an assistive tool in academic writing, recognizing its potential to enhance productivity and facilitate scholarly endeavors. By embracing AI technologies, institutions can empower students and researchers to streamline their writing processes, generate insights, and explore innovative ideas more efficiently. However, to mitigate potential abuse, institutions MUST establish clear guidelines and mechanisms for the responsible use of AI tools, including robust plagiarism detection systems and ethical frameworks for attributing AI-generated content. Through strategic integration and careful oversight, academic institutions can harness the benefits of AI while maintaining academic integrity and fostering a culture of responsible scholarship. AI can't and won't replace human Intelligence. Moses Fegher

If the writer refers to the AI assistant he/she used while writing and documents it in the references list, it won't be plagiarism.

While AI-generated content is not a direct copy-paste of existing text, it is still considered problematic in academic writing as the AI is essentially paraphrasing and combining information from its training data, rather than producing truly original work.

If AI identifies writing patterns and styles, even the best writers who do not use AI might be suspected of AI use, especially in academic writing. I think Erastus makes a valid point that higher education institutions will need to adapt to coexist with AI technologies.

I would not call it plagiarism. However, it is a tricky area.

If AI is used to generate ideas/content, but the writers themselves do the writing, it is not plagiarism. It is no different than asking our friends to share ideas for us to write. We took their ideas, and we did the writing.

Even if the AI do everything, from generating ideas to writing, I still won't call it plagiarism, but this is unethical.

Use it wisely; AI can help reduce writer's block.

El punto fundamental es la naturaleza del conocimiento y como se define el plagio al utilizar informacion tanto de IA, como de cualquier otro documento. porque se pueden utilizar dos parrfos completos de un tema que noha sido muy estudiado y si al hacer uso del mismo no hace referenvcia a la fuernte original o si el que investiga no hace de dicho material un comentario critico, en cualquier sentido, entonces ya se podria determinar si es plagio o no lo es.

Yes, artificial generated content in academic writing should be considered plagiarism if it is not properly cited or attributed to its source.Artificially generated content, like that produced by AI language models, can sometimes closely resemble human-generated text. If this content is used in academic writing without proper citation or acknowledgment of its AI origin, it can be misleading and unethical, as it fails to give credit to the technology responsible for its creation. Therefore, to avoid plagiarism, it's essential to appropriately attribute any AI-generated content used in academic work.

If they copy-pasted raw data, I would definitely call it plagiarism, as it would not be their own work. However, as a tool to guide their writing, where they use subject knowledge to modify the raw data to fit the subject matter and to fit their writing style, then I say all the power to them. We still want them to engage and use thinking and reasoning skills in their writing, so, in my opinion, using Gen AI as a tool is similar to using a calculator in solving a math question, where you still need to show your work.

I don't get too caught up in it. What's the difference between going to your library and copying a book or something that hands you the books. I decide what academic material is credible and trustworthy for my research or work. If I find work that I sense doesn't meet scholarly standards, I discard it and more than like won't look at future work by the author.
