The plagiarism of open source accusation is interesting. If you didn't know you are using open source code, is it plagiarism not to acknowledge it? What if you have enough knowledge of how LLMs work that you should have known? Does it help any to include an acknowledgement that you probably used some open source code but don't know which?

I'd parse it the same way as for natural intelligence. If I ask Bob how to do it, and he tells me from what he learned from open source, neither of us are plagiarizing open source.
