Theyve been doing that for year. Some guy got told he was cheating because a paper he turned in was exactly the same as something written on the internet that the AI found. Turned out to be that the guy was the author of the online work as well.
I agree that modern academia defines that as plagiarism. I can’t help but notice that this didn’t use to be the definition until homework scanning websites became a thing in the mid 2000’s. Funny how that works.
It still is not plagiarism. Lazy people like to call it that so they don’t have to check. It is sad to see. Source: my professor who is leading plagiarism investigations at the university
Of you post a preprint to arxiv, and submit the same paper to a journal, you don’t generally cite the preprint in the journal submission, and it’s not considered plagiarism either.
That’s why they’re called “preprints.”
This seems like a similar situation, except the “preprint” went up on some form of personal blog, and the “journal” was a class submission.

that’s still considered plagiarism. you still have to cite yourself, you can’t just say things.
No, it was the same paper. HE wrote it. He wasnt citing it, he wasnt coping it. HE was handing in HIS work.
