The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in producing news articles has become a worrying topic. Some writers engage in plagiarism by changing a few words in others' articles and attributing it to themselves. This act is undoubtedly recognized as literary theft, and many readers are aware of this issue. However, the fact that editors must conduct necessary checks before accepting articles is clearly more significant.
Consequences of Plagiarism for Publications
Publishing articles generated by artificial intelligence undermines the credibility of publications. Some publications attempt to prevent plagiarism by disabling the copy and paste feature. However, these tricks are ineffective, and similarities can still be identified through a simple internet search. Publications that allow such actions are, in fact, jeopardizing their own credibility.

Writers who resort to plagiarism are usually looking to produce content quickly and have little inclination to explore and draw inspiration from the world around them. In fact, interesting topics exist in everyday life around us; from people's behavior in the streets to personal emotions. These writers rely on artificial intelligence to quickly generate content instead of using their creativity.
Challenges Arising from AI-Generated Articles
Content produced by artificial intelligence often lacks coherence and cohesion. Different sentences from multiple articles are stitched together, causing the reader to feel as if they are reading an unrelated text. The lack of coherence in sentences and dissonance in content is an indication that the writer has gathered sentences from various sources instead of producing original content.
This situation raises questions about the future of literature and creativity in writing. Will AI-driven writers continue to engage in plagiarism? Editors of publications must confront these challenges and defend the credibility of published content. Otherwise, readers will only settle for news of wars and the bitter events of the world.
It is essential for writers to overcome these challenges with creativity and the search for new topics, and to trust their abilities instead of relying on technology. Otherwise, there is a risk of losing literary authenticity in the near future.
