Was accused of AI plagiarism. When we ran it through the scanner, the only AI content was from a block quote. Not a big deal because the instructor wasn’t those angry types. They were really chill but I wish they checked what was flagged as AI content first (-_-). At least they apologized.
College, my second year. The software they used flagged my work as something like 90% plagiarised. Thankfully the software showed the user it was saying it was plagiarised from… which was me from my first year lol. It was quickly sorted out and no lasting issue thankfully but when I first saw that percentage I freaked out
I had an English essay assignment senior year of high school that I didn’t want to do. I looked through my old essays (never used to delete things) and found one that was almost the same prompt, so I thought “screw it” and changed the date/class name and submitted that. I didn’t give much thought to it, but every teacher used the same essay plagiarism checker, and my essay got flagged as being previously turned in. The teacher pulled me aside in class and gave me a lecture about plagiarism and why I can’t submit other people’s work, so I told her to check the name on the original essay because it was mine. Once she realized I had “plagiarized” myself, she let it go but told me I had to redo the assignment anyway because I “can’t re-submit old work”.
If the teacher is going to basically plagarize the assignment and I’ve already done it elsewhere to the best of my ability, how the hell am I supposed to do anything other than resubmit the work I’d done for that assignment the first time?
That doesn’t make sense to me. Even after reading the below referenced wikipedia section on self plagiarism, it seems a contested topic and kinda ridiculous.
I’m bummed that no one in this thread has an exact duplicate post with more upvotes. Can we make it happen to my post, or is that too childish?
I posted an artwork I had made on a social media website that I had also put on a different relevant site the previous day. Some random guy from another country claimed I had stolen it and he knew that because he knew the original artist in real life. He had actually just seen my other post, but by the time I saw his comment, the hivemind reacted and the damage had been done. Editing the description on the first version I posted to indicate that I was the artist and person who posted in both places was too little too late.
I saw his photo, he lied about knowing me to accuse me of lying about my efforts. What a dick.
I stopped posting anything I make anywhere, fuck it. I don’t have the energy to defend myself against bullshit accusations from liars.
