There's no doubt about it: The Great Gatsby is one of the most enduring novels of all time. A century after its publication, F. Scott Fitzgerald's slender novel about a mysterious, lovelorn millionaire living and dying in a Long Island mansion is among the most widely read American fictions.

But what attributes contribute to this legacy? Is it the vivid imagery, compelling characters, and relentlessly twisting plot? Or is it the subtle but brutal takedown of the American ideals we all take for granted? Several other symbols of American progress—wealth, scientific research, the metropolis—turn out to be corrupting forces in The Great Gatsby.

In this essay, we will pull apart the challenging, intertwining cultural nuances that contribute to the lasting presence of Fitzgerald's seminal work...

Two kinds of plagiarism

Traditional plagiarism vs. AI plagiarism

AI-generated plagiarism is harder to spot than copied text. That is why a plagiarism checker with a built-in AI detector is essential for work that may contain AI-generated content.

Traditional

Copied from another source

Content is copied from other sources without proper citation or accreditation. It's easier to spot, since much of the plagiarized text appears in the original copy verbatim.

AI plagiarism

Generated and passed off as original

Content may replicate only a few lines from the original, or be written from scratch by a tool like ChatGPT or Gemini and passed off as the author's own. It's harder to spot without an AI detector.

If you've detected plagiarism as a teacher, it's important to note that the student may not have knowingly plagiarized. It's important to have a conversation with your student and hear their side of the story. Putting an action plan in place on how to avoid plagiarism in the future is also recommended.

Yes, there are different types of traditional plagiarism, such as:

  • Direct plagiarism: when you copy work directly from another source without proper citation.
  • Mosaic plagiarism: when you mix phrases or ideas from someone else's work with your own work without proper citation.
  • Self-plagiarism: when you reuse your own work that's been previously submitted without permission or appropriate citation.

There is also now AI plagiarism. This occurs when someone publishes content from an LLM as their own. When this happens, it could mean the author has unintentionally plagiarized existing content or has simply tried to pass off AI-generated copy as original.

Pangram helps detect both AI plagiarism and traditional plagiarism at the same time.

To maintain academic integrity, citing sources is essential. To properly cite sources, use the same citation style throughout your content. Include necessary information like author, title, publication or date. When in doubt, check any citation guidelines with the institution or publication you're using.
To avoid plagiarizing work, it's important to use Pangram's plagiarism and AI detection tool on your writing. It's one of the best ways to spot similar phrasing, direct copying, self-plagiarism, or AI-generated text, and keeps pace with a busy workflow.
