  Academic honesty is a big topic right now. It's a trashy headline, but the story itself is definitely interesting. What's actually bad is that "Business Insider" themselves did this investigation. Compare the breathless hysteria of this announcement to the careful and sober work done by Data Colada on the work of Gino and Ariely.

  AI generated plagiarism detectors are going to have to get better. Even Claudine Gay’s own allegations weren’t completely accurately plagiarism because they ranged from insufficient rewording to - yes - unquoted passages. So if she can claim that the quotations weren’t accurate or the citations weren’t appropriate, then…it really is all for grabs if “academic meta-journalism” is just a high level google search right now. None of which ever really challenged her work overall or conclusions or points she substantiated. Which should be the total point.
