''Plagiarism''

Because of the ability of chatbots to imitate human-like language, education administrators have had to take precautions to minimize the occurrence of students passing off artificially generated texts as their own. In some instances, educators have taken the view that material drawn from artificial intelligence software must be handled in the same way as sources from human authors. Students who incorporate artificially generated text into their work must denote credit for the artificial intelligence program utilized.

Because chatbots can simulate human speech, their ability to create cinematic dialogues and other types of creative writing have threatened the credits and financial condition of professional writers. As a result of this concern, The Writer’s Guild of America has proposed stipulations to control the use of artificial intelligence in the motion picture and television industry.
