I regularly use ChatGPT to improve my English. I write a paragraph, I don't like it and ask ChatGPT to rewrite it fixing grammar mistakes (English is not my first language). Would that be considered plagiarism? No (just like using Grammarly is not considered plagiarism). So, how on earth can the university distinguish between using ChatPGT for rewriting my own words vs using it to write an entire essay?
- version_five 4y agoWhether it's plagiarism (or cheating) depends on the context. If you're in a class where your english ability is being evaluated in your writing, it's cheating. If it's adding new ideas, its cheating. If you're writing technical reports that have no english or stylistic weighting in the grading, and you're using it solely as an advanced grammar checker and making sure all the ideas in the content are your own, then it could be acceptable.
- tkiolp4 4y agoAgree. But how do tools that detect ChatGPT text can distinguish between the different contexts that lead to the outputted text? They can’t.
