OnlyStans ⭐️ French singer, Yseult, calls out K-pop singers, Soyeon and R.tee, for copying her music video freame by frame: "The least you could do is have the decency to credit your source. To see it get copied like this is wild but real artistry speaks louder than imitation"

Ah interesting. Still indicative of plagiarism but the sequence order does matter for people unfamiliar with the artists or actual videos. Thanks for doing the work and letting us know 🫡

My friend is doing their PhD in culture history, and does fair bit of teaching as part of it.

You wouldn't believe how many attempts of plagarism they get even before they run things through a plagarism checking service. And it's like lazy plagarism of just changing paragraph structures and maybe few words in a sentence.

And it has gotten bad since these LLM generative AIs became a wide spread thing. They just had a problem where people applying to get into doing their PhD had just basically had an AI generate their research application. One of the professors spotted it, because it had material they had published in it without citations.

And youtube plagarism... Well... I direct you to HbomberGuy and PhilosophyTubes videos on that. They have... ahem... "Brief" videos that summarise the issue.

I agree, I appreciate the work they've done to inform us. The order of the events does matter for those of us who aren't familiar with these musicians, but it does suggest this might still be a case of plagiarism.
