THE USE OF LLMS AND PLAGIARISM
The use of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT can constitute plagiarism
when their output is presented as original work. This is because (1) LLMs often draw on
copyrighted source text and can reproduce it verbatim, (2) relying on an LLM’s phrasing
or ideas without acknowledgment misattributes authorship, and (3) it violates academic
norms requiring credit to original creators.
