    No, I’m not saying that. If she’s right and it can spit out any part of her book when asked (and someone else showed that it does that with Harry Potter), it’s plagiarism. They are profiting off of her book without compensating her. Which is a form of ripping someone off. I’m not sure what the confusion here is. If I buy someone’s book, that doesn’t give me the right to put it all online for free.

      It’s not plagiarism if it says it’s her book, lol.

      What are your feelings on public libraries? And does it spit out the entire book, or just excerpts?

        I don’t think you understand what plagiarism is. When you profit off of someone else’s work, you’re plagiarizing. Libraries do not profit off of anything. OpenAI, however, is a for-profit endeavor.

          plagiarizing

          This is taking someone’s work and passing it off as your own. Did you not do a simple google search when there was some doubt to the definition, like I just did?

              Did you read that?

              Plagiarism can happen intentionally or unintentionally when a person uses another person’s ideas or words without citing the original source. Here are four common forms of plagiarism:

              • Copying another person’s words without using quotation marks or referencing the original source
              • Copying an author’s words without using quotation marks but using accurate footnotes to the original source
              • Paraphrasing an author’s ideas without including a reference to the original source
              • Rearranging an author’s exact words, even if there is a footnote to the original source

              Oh no, I plagiarized! lol

                    Yes, can. It is capable of doing all those things and, again, if she is correct, will do so if prompted.
