The lawsuit says the Hingham High School student handbook did not include a restriction on the use of AI.
“They told us our son cheated on a paper, which is not what happened,” Jennifer Harris told WCVB. “They basically punished him for a rule that doesn’t exist.”

I sometimes use an LLM to “tidy up” my work and paste a bunch of writing in to see if it comes up with anything better. Some parts it will, others it won’t, and I’ll use or tweak some of it. I wonder if that counts? It’s all my work going in, but it’s using other people’s work to make adjustments.
I write my own papers, but will put paragraphs through an llm and ask it how it can be improved (normally grammarly’s ‘ai’), and sometimes I take it’s advice, but half the time I dislike what it’s done. Sometimes I give it a bunch of information on what I need to write, and it’ll spit something out, and then I’ll sort of use it as a skeleton for my paper, but to be honest, it’s kind of shit, regardless of which one I’ve tried. And it lies. So much.
Replace LLM with a person. If it was a person editing your work, does it make it plagiarism?
A common proofreading technique is to give your work to another person to read and make comments. That’s not plagiarism.
