New report: 60% of OpenAI model's responses contain plagiarism (www.axios.com)

A new report from plagiarism detector Copyleaks found that 60% of OpenAI's GPT-3.5 outputs contained some form of plagiarism.

Why it matters: Content creators from authors and songwriters to The New York Times are arguing in court that generative AI trained on copyrighted material ends up spitting out exact copies.

The individual GPT-3.5 output with the highest similarity score was in computer science (100%), followed by physics (92%), and psychology (88%).

And that’s why this claim is mostly bullshit. These use cases are all sciences, where the correct solution is usually the same or highly similar no matter who writes it. Small snippets of computer code cannot be copyrighted anyway.

Not surprisingly, softer subjects like “English” and “Theatre” rank extremely low on this scale.

You can’t write a paper covering scientific topics without plagiarism. A human would be required to. Generative AI should be held to at least as high of a standard.

Turns out ChatGPT isn’t writing a scientific paper though, it’s conversing with the user.

If it’s regurgitating other people’s work then it needs citations.
