RE: Plagiarism is a plague!

Am I lucky if I never seen the theft thingy? I always thought that I probably a theft too, because sometimes I wrote something I read somewhere sometimes ago and I forgot the source. But I don't think it's a good excuse 😞 type on bing or Google, everything is there.. but I wonder 🤔 do the theft check it on plagiarism checker before posting and the re-write it a little. Whatever, as long as they're not copying and improvised my posts 🫣🤭

I trust my feeling, I won't support such action, but didn't the community leader doing the check and leave a comment of verification 🫣 on the post?

Aahh.. who will do that on comments? Is there any consequences like guilty party did in the past? Persecute with down voting all the posts?

Sort:  

If you read someting and write it down in your own words it's not plagiarism, it's allowed. It is plagiarism if you copy-paste and pretend as if you wrote it.
If the theft is caught s/he did not check it first, same for those posting AI text. Can be they don't even know about the tools they can use and that there is more than one checker to figure it out although those plagiarism checkers can be wrong (say it's not stolen and it is or the other way round).

Not all communities check and leave a report behind and if you study the communities closer you will see that frequently moderators and hosts of contests aren't checked/don't receive a moderator report. So who will stop them if they use AI, comment with AI, copy-paste and upvote themselves as a moderator or curator?

Comments can be checked but it's harder because in average there are fewer words and the AI and plagiarism checkers can easily be fooled if there are not enough words or you make some typos in it. Helpful is if you speak the language and are willing to investigate a bit if you feel there's something odd. For example, a Steemian who can hardly write English but suddenly posts perfect text about topics you can be 100% sure of they do not know about. Will such a text always be detected? No. It's easy to fool and I learned this year that many use ghostwriters as well.
Another problem is if you write and translate your text. It can look different but also be detected as plagiarism or AI-generated text although it is human-written.

Downvoting is rarely done but there is steem watcher and curators are not allowed to use the account to downvote but they can take a vote back which is recommended and in this case, also be done by me.
