Got it, so you’ve never actually dealt with plagiarized work. You should have just led with that.

I have literally said, from actual experience, that this is the case. But I guess discarding that and pretending it was never said and that the opposite is true is I’m sure an easier position to hold.

Do you believe you never missed any plagiarised work examples? You caught some people doing X, and then you declare that catching people who do X is trivial. But plenty of people get away with doing X so we know that it isn't easy to catch.

For students they are probably easier to catch since they use the same tools you do, they use a search engine to find an article and plagiarises that. But ChatGPT takes deep discussions from reddit or stack overflow, I can't find those with a search engine.

If it’s as blatant as copying the entire game, you’d think it would be easier for you to find the game it copied. By your own account, this is an example of an obvious case of plagiarism. You were dead set on it, 100% sure.

Yet here we are. Dozen comments later and still no written set of rules produced which definitively shows that it was copied.

Come back when you actually have that and maybe we can continue this conversation.

Where do you think the answers come from? It’s not like Google has a massive index island around Reddit and SO.

I tend to exaggerate my claims a bit, yes. But you exaggerate your claims as well, for example you claim that if it had copied the rules it would be easy to find an example, that isn't true at all. Many examples of plagiarism goes unnoticed for years, until someone who is familiar with the original work points it out. I know examples where the person was found out during his thesis defence, he had plagiarised his entire PhD work from papers in another language and nobody noticed until years later, not even all the peer reviewers of the papers.

So maybe these rules are described in Japanese? Most similar games comes from Japan, Kakuro, Sudoku etc. Would your plagiarism detection method of Googling it find a Japanese source? I doubt it. But ChatGPT transcends language barriers, it can translate to English just fine.
