A new report from plagiarism detector Copyleaks found that 60% of OpenAI's GPT-3.5 outputs contained some form of plagiarism.

Why it matters: Content creators from authors and songwriters to The New York Times are arguing in court that generative AI trained on copyrighted material ends up spitting out exact copies.

Not to mention that a response "containing" plagiarism is a pretty poorly defined criterion. The system being used here is proprietary so we don't even know how it works.

I went and looked at how low theater and such were and it's dramatic:

The lowest similarity scores appeared in theater (0.9%), humanities (2.8%) and English language (5.4%).

Yeah, anyone who has written a thesis knows those tools are bullshit. My handwritten 140 page master's thesis had a similarity index of 11%.
