New 60% of OpenAI model's responses contain plagiarism
It turns out you can make it all the way to become president of Harvard [1] while ignoring this rule so it is questionable whether it is as set in stone as you make it out to be, at least in certain disciplines.
In a way these models are a perfect mirror of the current academic climate. They plagiarise without remorse, they follow the latest identity-politics diktat to a point and make up 'facts' when needed to reach a desired narrative. Google Gemini is the latest example [2] of where this leads.
Given that it is plausible that models like these will soon be used in educational settings this is a recipe for disaster. The same goes for the trend to replace search engine results with 'interpreted' results in which LLMs take up the same role as Winston in 1984: Winston works in the Ministry of Truth where he alters historical records to fit the needs of the Party.
It is time for a decentralised distributed search engine which limits itself to pure search, something like YaCy [3]. Something to replace Winstonian search engines like Google and Bing (et al.).
