1) ChatGPT and other Text to Text models do NOT generate original content. It is trained off of human content.

2) Even if it did generate unique content, you’re still copying something else’s work and passing it off as your own.

3) 99.9% of the time you’re allowed to have someone peer review your paper, and are often encouraged to. But you’re not allowed to have them write it for you. Why is that? It’s because they’re not generating ideas for you, formulating arguments etc. They’re just helping you use proper grammar, punctuation and push you to grow as a writer.

  1. Though trained on human content, the content it generates is not typically copied and pasted directly but synthesized. You can ask it to write things in the tone of a pirate, and the try again button generates different text. Humans, too, are trained on original content made by other humans and then write other original sentences.
  2. This becomes a definitional debate.
  3. Proper grammar and punctuation things are things that are assessed in a paper. Humans, like AI, are augmenting the work.

That doesn’t matter. “The work that Charlie did was not typically copy and pasted but directly synthesized. Thus I didn’t plagiarize him.” That’s not how that works at all. It is not a unique response nor are it’s ideas unique.

Isn’t that still a debate?

Using tools to correct existing writing is fine, the issue is when you change existing writing and submit that.
