The central question addresses the capability of existing plagiarism detection systems to identify instances where Snapchat’s artificial intelligence features are used to generate content that is then presented as original work. An example would be if a user prompts the Snapchat AI to write an essay, and then submits that essay for academic credit without proper attribution.
Investigating this issue is important because of the increasing prevalence of AI-generated content and its potential for misuse in academic and professional settings. A historical context is also important to consider as AI plagiarism has evolved significantly as AI technology improves.
