…..it is a sign of dishonesty as well as extreme feelings of inadequacy.
At the University of Notre Dame, such failure to properly assign credit would be a violation of Du Lac (academic honesty), and it would get you kicked out of school.
(Of course, you’d have to actually be a person who got in to Notre Dame…..liars who claim so falsely are not actually subject to the rules of Du Lac).
AI is an amazing tool that is here to stay, but unfortunately so is flawed human nature.
Hopefully, those on this board who have been dishonestly presenting AI as their own work and thoughts to look smarter will come out of the closet. Hopefully, they will not just pretend nothing happened and move on. Hopefully, they will not lie about their deceit, especially since the AI was poorly applied, and the lies were painfully apparent.
But again, flawed human nature and deep seated insecurity will always be around.
Reader beware.
