The reasons we consider plagiarism to be cheating in school and malpractice in professional contexts are many of the same reasons that LLMs are not going to replace all knowledge-based human labor. (Details left as an exercise for the reader.)
And yes, a whole lot of what LLMs do •would• count as plagiarism if one of my students did it manually, and •should• count as plagiarism just the same if they use a machine to do it — not just in a “that’s cheating!!” sense, but more importantly in a “that’s not really doing the work” sense.

Stored Sun: What a Book Actually Is
Ask ten readers what a book is and you will get ten metaphors and no definitions. A mirror, they say, or a door, or a passageway with footfalls behind it. The metaphors flatter the reader and obscure the object. None of them tell you what is sitting on your shelf, dark and patient, while you sleep. Here is the answer. A book is stored sun.

This is showing one thing that I think should become general principle: Using an LLM for someone else _is rude and bad_. Presenting something untranslated that _they_ can have an LLM translate is better than doing it yourself, and not showing that input — the prompt here is not included and is a key piece of context, and the results are also bad _with no recourse_.
Information has been destroyed. Trust has been broken (or in the case of commerce, failed to be established). Even if the total amount of LLM-use were the same, this is worse than the reader using it.
PROMPTING AN LLM FOR SOMEONE ELSE IS RUDE.

There is currently a bundle of books from one of my favorite author of fantasy novels, Mercedes Lackey on Humble Bundle. For my queer folks out there, she is one of the few authors that cast an openly gay man as a main character in her books, in the early 90s. The novels are great and her universe is amazing. If you read on your phone or e-reader and are in search of great fantasy novels, you can pick that all up here:

The hunger for tinkering affordances helps explain the ubiquity of spreadsheets in the business world. [long subthread left as an exercise for the reader]
It also helps explain the traction of the “AI Agent” marketing. I can’t think of a technology that’s simultaneously done a better job of removing barriers to user-designed automation and done a worse job of helping people anticipate and deal with the consequences of automation. (Security and data integrity are two of the big places where attempts at deep tinkering affordances have crashed and burned.)

This is closely related to / partly overlapping with what linguists call the “conduit metaphor,” in which language is a container into which the speaker/writer places meaning and from which the listener/reader extracts meaning:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conduit_metaphor
Study the example sentences in that article. Notice how they are •metaphorical•, but also notice how normal, how •literal• they sound to our ears.
3/

Students make all kinds of educational fumbles because of this metaphor: cramming for tests, focusing on quantity of information over quality of experience, overvaluing passive-receptive consumption-shaped learning and undervaluing sustained, productive struggle, etc etc.
But it’s not just education, as the article shows.
I could ramble on, but it’s time for a TV show with my wife — so I leave the detailed analysis of this remarkable clause as an exercise for the reader:
“Some of the company’s most experienced personnel left before all of their accumulated knowledge could be fully transferred into Ford’s automated systems.”
Spot the metaphor, and bonus points for teasing out what the passive voice there hides.
