Undisclosed AI writing increasingly resembles plagiarism, argues new essay
voooooogel · x · 2026-10-12
A new essay from croissanthology argues that as AIs get smarter, confusing their outputs with your own—such as passing off undisclosed AI-written essays—increasingly resembles plagiarism, with its nasty side effects including disempowerment.
Titled "Not anthropomorphizing AIs enough may be harmful to your agency," the piece contends that failing to see AI as a distinct author erodes your own sense of agency and accountability for what you publish.
