I think the bigger picture to me is something like are you being disingenuous rather than are you technically plagiarizing. Thought experiment: if I tell people I’m great at multiplication and I don’t tell them I have an earpiece / mic with someone using a calculator on the other end. If I convince these people I have a great mind and they respect my math skills, have I not fooled them? As for the copilot argument, I’m not convinced it shouldn’t be required to cite.
- emodendroket 4y agoI don’t think the purpose of most writing is convincing people you’re a great writer.
- hpen 4y agoMe either. It’s to convince you’re a great intellect. That or to record a historical archive.
- skissane 4y agoPeople write for many different reasons. Sometimes it is because they believe in an idea (political, ethical, philosophical, religious, etc), and their main objective is to convince others to believe in that idea too-what you may come to think of their abilities as an author is rather besides their point.
