The current debate: Is using AI-generated content without attribution plagiarism?

Plagiarism means using someone else’s work or ideas without proper attribution. Generally, when we are talking about plagiarism we are talking about the ethical violation, not a legal violation, such as copyright infringement (check my prior newsletter for that discussion).

Copyright infringement and plagiarism are often used interchangeably. These terms can be confusing, but it is important to understand the differences as they represent distinct forms of legal and ethical violations…and have varying consequences.
