Exploring the hidden aspects of ChatGPT: A study on concerns regarding plagiarism levels
Abstract
ChatGPT is a widely used chatbot model that has gained popularity. Concerns have been raised that ChatGPT may facilitate plagiarism. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether ChatGPT can distinguish between plagiarised and non-plagiarised texts. The purpose of the study was to investigate the potential of ChatGPT in generating plagiarism. The sample included various types of texts, such as manuscripts. Several questions about plagiarism were asked. The study found that the first version of ChatGPT cannot successfully detect plagiarism, although it can distinguish sentences written in academic sources from ordinary sentences. ChatGPT assumes that providing a reference to a previous source is sufficient. However, this does not mean that it is free from plagiarism. The findings of this study indicate that ChatGPT cannot fully recognise plagiarism
