I'm not making any kind of argument as to how bad AI-generated crap is vs. plagiarism, simply stating my view that the former doesn't meet the criteria for the definition of the latter, unless the argument is that the AI program is culling what it's writing from stuff that's already been written, and I'm not sure I buy that. If that were true, then every site on the web that uses AI to write something, every student who uses AI for a class, and essentially all use of AI to generate text produces plagiarized results and anyone who uses it is a plagiarist. That's extreme, but regardless of how extreme I just don't think it's true.

Sorry to reply to this so late, but I missed the updates on this thread. And honestly, whether AI-generated posts constitute plagiarism or not, they ought to be banned, full stop. I might have missed any decrees from Theymos as well, so where does the forum stand with respect to idiots using AI? And yes, I will go back and read the rest of this thread after posting this.

I strongly agreed with the The Sceptical Chymist because there is no different between AI (ChatGTP) and Plagiarism. Plagiarism is when someone copied another person work without reference and claimed to be the owner and using AI is the same thing so if the punishment is given to someone who has plagiarized then that should be also to the AI or ChatGTP users as well.

So there was no need for creating threads to report AI or ChatGTP users but the thread for reporting plagiarism was good enough foe the two tasks.
