An old professor of mine would be very angry with Nathan. We had a big disagreement about whether using parts of your own prior work was plagiarism.

What are the arguments that it is plagiarism?

"Self-plagiarism is fraud and goes against the core principles of ethical writing. Papers are assigned for students to demonstrate evidence of learning. If a paper is reused from a previous class, the student is not demonstrating new learning."

Gemini AI's pro argument that self plagiarism is a problem: Misrepresents effort: It's an act of trying to pass off old writing as new and original. Misleads readers: It can mislead readers, colleagues, or supervisors who expect fresh insights and updated information.

These are consistent with my old philosophy of law Professor's opinion on the subject, but other acedemics I've discussed it with since seem kind of split.
