Red Lines: ChatGPT vs. ChatGPS

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 8:48 am

"Recently, several leading academic journals and publishers
updated their submission guidelines to explicitly ban researchers
from listing ChatGPT as a co-author, or using text copied from a
ChatGPT response. Some professors have criticized these bans
as shortsightedly resistant to an inevitable technological change.
We shouldn’t be surprised at the disagreement. This is a new
ethical space that only roughly follows the outlines of our existing
agreements on plagiarism, authorship criteria, and fraud.
Precisely where to draw red lines is not clear."
