The users who would have used copy/paste plagiarism are now using AI, it's also a form of plagiarism if you think it through, because in fact-related topics, it has to extract information from somewhere.

Yep, this is 100% the way I see it as well. I mean, peeps that engage in AI shitposting are doing the exact same thing plagiarists are doing: implicitly taking credit for content they didn't create. And its largely for the same reason, which is to avoid having to use one's own brain.

Posting AI material is perhaps even more offensive than plagiarizing IMHO. After all, any idiot can do what these people are doing. Meaning, any idiot has access to ChatGPT or Grok and can feed it a post to respond to or ask it to generate a summary of this or that topic.
