Is It Plagiarism? Navigating Ethics in AI-Generated Content

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are becoming mainstream. It's uses range from game changing to questionable. A recent discussion found an AI model that generated content, rewriting in numerous times, so it's not considered as plagiarism. This only meant that the writing wouldn't be flagged by AI detectors and plagiarism checkers.

At the same time, it hinders content creators who produce high quality and unique content. This brings up the question, where is the line between plagiarism and AI generated content and what are the ethical implications?

AI tools are valuable when it comes to generating ideas and streamlining content creation processes, but as content creators, we believe we have an ethical duty to not overly rely on AI generated content, ensuring that it doesn't lose human insight and originality.

Understanding how AI Generates Content

Let's start at the beginning to fully understand how to navigate the ethics of AI generated content. Generating content using an AI tool, you provide it with instructions through prompts. The tool interprets the prompts, generating content based on information in its dataset. 

Training datasets vary, so we don't know exactly what content the AI used for training. Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, rely on information they gather using web crawlers, and collecting data from third party websites. Now while this is not considered illegal, the information is obtained without consent or payment for its use.

AI Generated Content and Plagiarism

If the AI generator you uses copied words from other sources that is close to the creators original content without citation, it is considered plagiarism. Yes, as human writers, we do perform research, using different websites for information to inform our audience, using credit and citations, where needed. Humans process and interpret their research differently, using it to create new and fresh content.

When AI references human work, it doesn't have the cognitive process that humans have. It lacks citations, regurgitating data its trained on, without adding an individual perspective.

Navigating the Ethics

You can avoid ethical issues by taking control over the information your AI application uses. You can use your brand style guide and previous articles to train AI powered tools and customise your content. With clear prompts you can limit the scope the application uses for your work, streamlining your content creation process without the risk of plagiarism.

Considerations when using AI generated content, includes:
