Thank you for this clear post @shadowspub I am very interested and excited to use AI as a pair programmer, and an always available Jeeves to my bumbling Bertie Wooster. But the entire discussion around plagiarism had been getting me very worried. Personally I find that using it creatively is an interesting challenge, and trying to cut off any entire section of people from using it felt like not allowing people to use the first cars or the first printing press. However in my thoughts my worry was never about crediting as whenever I work with AI I clearly inform that it is the case. Just like you quoted the ChatGPT output I thought it was natural to say "Hey I got this information from my man Jeeves here". Having read this post which clarifies so many of my questions, and hivewatchers post about AI I am now relieved that the main thrust of plagiarism was about uncredited work. I find that alright for now, though it will be interesting in the future if we will continue to put the same amount of importance to non machined original work. Probably it will be a small scale industry like the many old trades are currently. Cheerio!
