I know university professors struggling with this concept. They are so convinced using an LLM is plagiarism.

It can lead to plagiarism if you use it poorly, which is why you control the information you feed it. Then proofread and edit.

Another related confusion in academia recently is the 'AI detector'. It could easily be defeated with minor rewrites, if they were even accurate in the first place. My favorite misconception is there was a story of a professor who told students "I asked ChatGPT if it wrote this, and it said yes" which is just really not how it works.
