Update. This fear has come true to such an extent that students who write well without #AI assistance now feel pressure to use AI to "humanize" their writing and avoid the charge of AI-assisted #plagiarism. #Grrr.

Western Cell Division, 'Opening Gaps and Filling Them Up... WESTERN CELL DIVISION and You', Baltimore: Dialectical Immaterialism Press, 1987

Experimental reflections of multiple-use name identity politics, plagiarism/anti-copyright and Art Strike 1990-1993, grown out of Neoism.

"The provided texts explore themes of cultural reproduction, individual perception, and societal critique within late capitalism. 'Western Cell Division and You' conceptualizes the proliferation of a dominant 'Western Culture' and the potential for 'deviant cultures' to emerge through its divisions, while other sections discuss how plagiarism and censorship can serve as revolutionary acts against established notions of originality and controlled information. The collection further investigates 'Optically Disassociated Reality' (O.D.R.), proposing methods to alter visual perception and challenge the continuity cues ingrained by visual media like television. Ultimately, the sources advocate for a radical re-evaluation of art, identity, and social relations, calling for an Art Strike to dismantle the capitalist commodification of creativity and empower individual 'anti-skills' against pervasive societal structures."

For the love of all that is unholy do not

DO NOT

feed another person's text into a #LLM (or quote-unquote ✌️ #AI ✌️ ), grammar checker, Google Docs, online document processor (like ebook formatters or PDF splitters), or any other online-connected platform where it will/may be harvested for ✌️ AI ✌️ training data.

You need the person's express and informed consent to do any of the above, because once that text is sucked up for training data it CANNOT be removed for all practical intents and purposes. Not only is the use of copyrighted materials for training data so legally dicey there are multiple huge lawsuits on the subject, these models are prone to outright regurgitating parts of their training data--people don't call it the #plagiarism machine for nothing.

If you're unsure whether you may use software or website that the author didn't use or otherwise consent to, JUST ASK first. It's not hard, and it's just a basic decent thing to do. Jesus fuckin Christ.
