Harvard president Claudine Gay's lawyers ridiculed plagiarism claims as created by 'ChatGPT'
[NYPOST] Lawyers for Harvard and its president Claudine Gay tried to dismiss allegations she was a plagiarist as having been created by "ChatGPT."They sent a 15-page legal tirade to The Post which launched a bizarre conspiracy theory that the 27 instances in which her work appeared to closely resemble that of other academics may have been uncovered by using Microsoft’s artificial intelligence chatbot. The letter, sent in October to The Post’s attorneys, threatened a lawsuit if the newspaper published allegations of plagiarism against Gay. The letter was sent before the Harvard Corporation, the board which runs the Ivy League school launched its own secret investigation into numerous allegations of plagiarism against the embattled president — in effect clearing her in advance of the probe. "Indeed, there are strong indications that the excerpts cited by The Post were not in fact the ’complaints’ of a human complainant — but rather were generated by artificial intelligence or some other technological or automated means," wrote Thomas Clare and David Sillers in their Oct. 27 letter to The Post.
