I am trying to decide what I dislike reading more: old school plagiarism, online paper mill plagiarism, or AI generated plagiarism.

Requirement in spam CfP: "Plagiarism of the article is less than 15%"

(I get that they are warning authors that papers *will* be checked for plagiarism. A Turnitin result of 15% of textual similarity happens quickly if you e.g., recycle a previous related work section.)

Interesting case: How to prove that the text from UniGe is in fact plagiarizing the one from Oxford instead of *both* author groups got help by #GenAI (not necessarily the same system)?

@elementary tl;dr I support your objectives, and kudos on the goal, but I think you should monitor this new policy for unexpected negative outcomes. I take about 9k characters to explain why, but I’m not criticizing your intent.

While I am much more pragmatic about my stance on #aicoding this was previously a long-running issue of contention on the #StackExchange network that was never really effectively resolved outside of a few clearly egregious cases.

The triple-net is that when it comes to certain parts of software—think of the SCO copyright trials over header files from a few decades back—in many cases, obvious code will be, well…obvious. That “the simplest thing that could possibly work” was produced by an AI instead of a person is difficult to prove using existing tools, and false accusations of plagiarism have been a huge problem that has caused a number of people real #reputationalharm over the last couple of years.

That said, I don’t disagree with the stance that #vibecoding is not worth the pixels that it takes up on a screen. From a more pragmatic standpoint, though, it may be more useful to address the underlying principle that #plagiarism is unacceptable from a community standards or copyright perspective rather than making it a tool-specific policy issue.

I’m a firm believer that people have the right to run their community projects in whatever way best serves their community members. I’m only pointing out the pragmatic issues of setting forth a policy where the likelihood of false positives is quite high, and the level of pragmatic enforceability may be quite low. That is something that could lead to reputational harm to people and the project, or to community in-fighting down the road, when the real policy you’re promoting (as I understand it) is just a fundamental expectation of “original human contributions” to the project.

Because I work in #riskmanagement and #cybersecurity I see this a lot. This is an issue that comes up more often than you might think. Again, I fully support your objectives, but just wanted to offer an alternative viewpoint that your project might want to revisit down the road if the current policy doesn’t achieve the results that you’re hoping for.

In the meantime, I certainly wish you every possible success! You’re taking a #thoughtleadership stance on an important #AIgovernance policy issue that is important to society and to #FOSS right now. I think that’s terrific!

A recent study shows us how long plagiarized works remained unretracted and what types of plagiarism take the longest.

"“I’m pleased that there’s such interest in my doctoral thesis. It’s sort of languished on the shelf for over three decades,” said Carney in response to a question from the National Post during a campaign announcement in Winnipeg on Tuesday."

It took a few days, but #MarkCarney found a smart response.

@GottaLaff Key takeaways: 1) Heritage Foundation pwned #Hegseth and the #DoD there's at least 1 leaker in the DoD and they won't be able to find out who because they distributed the 'secret' so widely. 3) Hegseth & Co. are too lazy to do anything but plagiarize.

I understand that piracy cheats many writers out of their hard-earned income in the corporatised publishing arena. My support of writers making money on their own terms, being myself a fledgling writer, is absolute.

I also know that for a whopping big sector of the world, piracy is their ONLY access to books and articles that they'd otherwise be bankrupting themselves for. This is not the fault of the writers; however, when writers get angry about piracy, which they have reason to be, I rarely see them considering this point. Mind you, I said "rarely", not "never".

LibGen selling out its database to AI thievery has angered many writers, and for good reason! But the problem is NOT piracy. It's LibGen, which is, to my knowledge, a Russian-operated database. It's yet another devastating institutional betrayal in an entire era of institutions baring their backends.

I think one reason why this personally hurts is because with LibGen selling out to AI, one possible last filament of hope in the Internet as us Millennials had grown up believing in, has now been lost.

Have you published a book? Here's how to check if Meta stole it for their dumb AI. Literally every traditionally published author I could think of is here.

I guess there's one upside to me not publishing a book yet, but it's not super consoling.
