They violate it in the same way you violate it when you write here. When I say that Satoshi started bitcoin in 2009 it's not something I created, it's something I read at some point somewhere and I don't quote when I say things like this. Let alone when the thought is compounded and doesn't refer to a specific piece of data like this.

Do you ask permission to be able to write here when you write without quoting?

That's common knowledge.

I want to quote Purdue Online Writing Lab College of Liberal Arts, Purdue University here,
''Generally, common knowledge is information that someone finds undocumented in at least five credible sources. For example, writing is difficult,” is considered common knowledge in the field of composition studies because at least five credible sources can back the claim up.
Remember the golden rule: When in doubt, just cite.''

I write a doctoral thesis, of my own authorship, without plagiarizing, and when I go to give a presentation of it the presentation is written for me by Chat GPT.
Is that plagiarism?

If you think any AI chatbot/agent knows more about your Phd or can explain/present it better than you, then perhaps you have not done a proper job . If you are taking AI help, you should mention the part which AI prepared for you, otherwise, even in use cases where it is not plagiarism, it is ethically wrong.

I create or acquire a business and when I want to make an OP for a forum I tell an AI to make it for me.

Is that plagiarism?

YES, 100%, unless forum has a dual policy for AI usage, separating buissness/project owners creating ANN threads from common members.

Luckily, both the moderators and theymos seem to be somewhat open-minded with this, as they do deal with cases of blatant AI copy-paste without having the simplistic view that any use of AI on the forum should be banned.

Can you please specify who among reputed members ever propageted this so-called simplistic view of banning any use of AI in the forum?
