That means it's not plagiarism when I use its work as it's not an author. Nice!

Did you read the linked content? From it:

>AI writing software can amplify social biases like sexism and racism and has a tendency to produce “plausible bullshit” — incorrect information presented as fact. (See, for example, CNET’s recent use of AI tools to write articles. The publication later found errors in more than half of those published.)

Of course. As a human that interacts with a limited set of like-minded people, my own writing has the potential to amplify social biases like sexism and racism that aligns to my own bubble of friends. I also have a tendency to produce “plausible bullshit” — incorrect information presented as fact. (See, for example, most of my high school papers.)

My point was that if I can't cite the output of ChatGPT as the actual author of the content, then I simply must take it upon myself to deal with the repercussions of publishing crap work, wherever it came from.

Remember, Reddit doesn't read, and it looks like Reddit doesn't want to write either. You literally have people in threads begging for a computer to think FOR them. I say this as someone who works with computers and has worked with ML before.

This has nothing to do with plagiarism though, which is what the comment is talking about.

Sounds about right:

> Springer Nature, the world’s largest academic publisher, has clarified its policies on the use of AI writing tools in scientific papers. The company announced this week that software like ChatGPT can’t be credited as an author in papers published in its thousands of journals. However, Springer says it has no problem with scientists using AI to help write or generate ideas for research, as long as this contribution is properly disclosed by the authors.

It seems like they simply don't want you putting ChatGPT in the "written by" subtitle.

ChatGPT plagiarized other works in creating its responses. So you are using plagiarized work to create yours.

I really, really wish ChatGPT would give you links to sources for its information. If it would cite all of its sources, it would be a great research tool.

You can include in your prompt a set of citations. I used it to create a framework for a paper I was writing and it listed six sources.
