Since the advent of backtranslation with tools, such as OpenNMT, and large language models, such as those in the GPT2 & GPT3 series, automatic paraphrasing tools have become increasingly available online. Typically they work by taking an input text, splitting it into sentences, and then backtranslating each sentence through a pivot language, such as French, German, Russian, etc., and then translate it back into English, producing a paraphrase. Many such tools exist for free and some with paid options, including [https://www.paraphrasetool.com/ paraphrase tool], [https://www.spinbot.com/, spinbot],[https://www.prepostseo.com/, prepostseo], and others that do essentially the same thing. There is some concern that such tools constitute plagiarism, since they are able to change the surface structure of the sentences while retaining the meaning, often confounding common plagiarism detection tools that rely on n-gram sequences.
