so by now a lot of people have watched hbomberguy's plagiarism video, which makes me glad because its a really good video, but i think this followup/companion video about the academic side of plagiarism (which is becoming really dire, in no small account due to AI shit and also just a lack of understanding about plagiarism because of the exact shit hbomberguy talks about) is a really good addition that everyone should check out next:

oh boy, i was waiting for someone to ask this!
this was a ruse. a sham. all an elaborate ploy for the sake of the joke. but also for the sake of something FAR more sinister. you see, i have a three year old child who is learning how to go to the bathroom. pissing and shitting, etc. and i am this 3-year-old's full time caretaker. which means i have been living in a bathroom-themed Hell for the past 3 weeks. which means i crack open my phone and play This video as a kind of pavlovian trigger maybe 10, 12 times a day. and let me tell you: this video, and the song within... it gets in your head. it stays there. it sets up shop and it does not leave. and the only relief i have from this perdition is by sharing it with others, subjecting people to it, leading me to set up elaborate bait-and-switch jokes just like this. christ on the cross had his sponge of vinegar, and i have this post. misery loves company, and you've arrived just in time.
so no, i dont have the actual video. my friend, there is no video. there is only my thousand-yard stare as i do another load of laundry for the 8th time this week
I was given a book that outlined a method for teaching toilet training in one weekend. The method was to just have your child wholly nude for a day and chase them around with a miniature toilet basin trying to catch whatever stray waste you could as it fell, then praising the child effusively for putting their urine and faeces in the appropriate place. The second day was to be the same, but with underwear on. If your child had an accident after this, it was to be treated as a behavioral problem and disciplined accordingly.
So y'know. You could do far worse.
yep we actually did the one (three day) weekend thing, the modern updated version i guess. except you want to wait a while for underwear because it feels too much like a diaper, so you have loose pants day 2 so you can track accidents easily, and because the feeling of piss on legs is a more effective motivator than any discipline i could offer. but yeah we dont really discipline cuz that adds pressure and doesnt work. overall he is learning really fast but he's also just an excitable and distracted kid, and he also got really sick for a couple weeks which made it difficult for him to listen to his body. hes learning real fast but its still exhausting, especially cuz i also work full time whenever my spouse is home to take care of him. energy levels are low all over
It's hard to be little. It's also hard to smell pee and not know where you need to clean to make the smell stop because it is everywhere, everything is now pee.
Ah yes, getting sick. The thing that kids do every other week, each time undoing months of progress on some foundational skill.
no fucking joke dude but it seems like he's been bouncing back easier each time since we try to keep our routine consistent
Academic Plagiarism is generally pretty uncomplicated to discover and is fairly uncommon in academic journals. If you're making a claim in an academic journal, and it isn't data you recorded, you've gotta cite it or you're going to get rejected from peer review for "Making Shit Up". You cannot just say things. The fact that you can't just say things makes it pretty much impossible to plagiarize in the way that you're seeing here, and the specificity of the topic means that your peer reviewers are absolutely going to find out if your paper is mysteriously similar to another, similar paper you don't cite.
Remember, the reason nobody caught James Sommerton is because nobody was looking, not because it was hard to find. People are absolutely checking for plagiarism when you go through the peer review process. People can tell when shit is AI generated nonsense. Academic Plagiarism is, more often than not, someone fucking up by failing to cite a source, and isn't even one of the top ten problems with Academic science right now.
Here's some videos about academic fraud that are very good, though:
