Dealing with AI and plagiarism in college can be a challenging task. Here are some tips to help you avoid being accused of using AI in college and how to defend yourself against AI plagiarism accusations:
Don't plagiarize: Using AI-generated content as your own work is considered plagiarism and can result in severe consequences
Use AI ethically: If you are going to use AI, make sure you use it ethically and within the guidelines set by your institution
Involve the professor or tutor in the assignment: Ask the professor a few questions about the challenges you are facing with the assignment. This is not meant for anything but evidence that you were actually working and faced some challenges. If allowed, try to send the prof a draft of your work to get some feedback
Search ChatGPT and ask it for an outline for that question: Use ChatGPT to avoid being like it. The tutor has most likely tried varied keyword entries on the AI and seen possible indicators to raise
Be familiar with your organization's policy on academic misconduct and definition of plagiarism. Be aware of the potential to self-plagiarize.
USE PROMPTS TO GET ALL HACKS OF AI
If you are accused of AI plagiarism, contact the person who made the accusation to discuss the report and the issue. Explain your position and provide evidence to support your claim
Ultimately, schools may need rules that reflect a range of variables. "My guess is that there will be the development of some broad blanket policies that essentially say, unless you have permission from a professor to use AI tools, using them will be considered a violation of the academic integrity code," says Dailey
In summary, using AI in college requires ethical considerations and adherence to institutional guidelines. If accused of AI plagiarism, it is important to provide evidence to support your claim and follow the policies set by your institution.
