Robocribbing
The unethical practice of using generative artificial intelligence technologies to produce written work and passing it off verbatim as one's own original work in an academic context without proper attribution. A form of academic dishonesty distinct from plagiarism in that the content is AI-generated and not copied from a human source, though similar in the disingenuous attempt to claim credit for writing not originally authored by the student.
The teacher suspected the 8th grade student of robocribbing when their essay was a verbatim submission of text generated via ChatGPT but the work was presented entirely as the student's own writing.
