I don't understand why people are so concerned about these new automatic plagiarizers. It has always been in the best interests of bad or lazy students to plagiarize. Plagiarism is low-risk if the plagiarizer has half a brain (i.e. doesn't copy and paste and doesn't use a famous source). It saves a ton of effort. It lets even an awful student produce a decent paper. These new tools make plagiarism easier, less risky, and lower-quality, but these are just matters of degree. Plagiarism is already rampant. These tools make existing plagiarists worse. I doubt they will create new plagiarists. (P.S. I say it's low risk because plagiarism can be difficult to prove. It's very easy to catch a plagiarist. A poor student who never shows up to class all of a sudden handing in lengthy papers using terms never covered in class rings alarm bells for any teacher.)
