shit shit shit shit shit. Dealt with my first set of AI-generated-code plagiarism cases this semester.
Dear students: LLMs are terrible plagiarists and they do not give a damn (or have any capacity to care or avoid doing so) if they get you in deep doodoo by reproducing verbatim code from existing repositories on github or from web pages. And on assignments, it's quite likely to happen.
We didn't identify these cases by using an AI detector: They were identical to a source on the web!
