Parents claim there was no rule banning AI, but school cites multiple policies.

The lawsuit says the Hingham High School student handbook did not include a restriction on the use of AI.

“They told us our son cheated on a paper, which is not what happened,” Jennifer Harris told WCVB. “They basically punished him for a rule that doesn’t exist.”

    Replace LLM with a person. If it was a person editing your work, does it make it plagiarism?

    A common proofreading technique is to give your work to another person to read and make comments. That’s not plagiarism.

      People who proofread only generally make recommendations to edit. LLMs often “rewrite” the vast majority of the document.

      If I tell a person who’s my editor the concept of my paper and about 20-30% of the actual content that’s in the end paper… sounds like someone else wrote the paper to me.

      It’s all up to how you’re using the tool. Lots of kids out there will simple tell chatgpt to write something for them. Other’s will simply ask for basic proofreading. It’s a bitch to tell the difference on the grading side.

        Yes, that’s exactly my opinion on the subject. ( I realize this is a contentless reply but I didn’t want you to think I downvoted you.)

          I didn’t want you to think I downvoted you.

          I’m admin on my small instance. I can see the votes. No worries. In this case the downvote is from xektop@lemmy.world.

          Anyway, the most I ever use LLMs professionally for is to help rearrange content for better flow or maybe convert more rambly bits into something that’s concise. I tend to be more verbose than I need to be (mostly because my documentation for stuff is wildly verbose since I tend to forget stuff, which is great for documentation… not always great for talking through something for a client).
