LSU gymnast and social media star Olivia Dunne has sparked controversy for posting a TikTok video promoting an artificial intelligence service for writing essays.

Dunne, a junior, indirectly suggested using technology to complete schoolwork.

“At LSU, our faculty and students are empowered to use technology to learn and achieve the highest standards of academic integrity,” the school’s statement reads.

“However, using AI to produce work that a student then represents as their own could result in a charge of academic misconduct, as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.”

While the university’s code of conduct does not have a specific punishment for the use of artificial intelligence, the school views plagiarism as academic misconduct.

According to the university, plagiarism is defined as ‘the lack of proper citation or unrecognized inclusion of another person’s words, structure, ideas, or data; failure to identify a source, or submitting essentially the same work for two assignments without permission from the Instructor.’
