Understanding Plagiarism in the Digital Age: Grammar Checker Plagiarism

Grammar Checker Plagiarism

When you use tools like Grammarly, be careful about the revision suggestions.  These programs can completely rewrite sentences for you. Submitting a paper with these AI-generated changes is considered plagiarism.

This is because these tools use generative AI to write new sentences, so the final work is no longer entirely your own. It's similar to copying text from an AI like ChatGPT and claiming it as yours. Your professors want to see your original work, not something created by an other entity.
