I came across this thread - Report plagiarism (copy/paste) here. Mods: please give temp or permban as needed and I wondered why it is very much still active. I have known this thread for long, I think that people should not be plagiarizing again, especially now we have AI. Do not get me wrong, I do not endorse people using AI to make posts here. I am advocating for the right use of AI.
If anyone doesn't understand a particular topic of discussion in a thread, they could easily google it or ask AI, use 15 to 20 mins to read about the topic and return to the forum to make organic contribution.

I thought that the reason why people were plagiarizing in the past was because of the lack of research tools and platform. Now that even google has integrated AI, research shouldn't be difficult and the rate of plagiarism is supposed to reduce drastically.
Why is there still plagiarism?
