If students acknowledge that they used ChatGPT and what the prompt was (as required by the OP), then it's not plagiarism.

But I think many professors who don't accept AI as a writing aide would say that it doesn't satisfy the assignment and is worth zero points.

Using AI output isn’t plagiarism. Finders keepers. You push the button, you get the copyright, just like a camera.

Now, whether it is ghostwriting is another matter.

It's not settled law yet. Many jurisdictions seem inclined to assign no copyright at all to AI-generated works, like the United States and the European Union.

Copyright doesn't matter. It's about academic honesty, not whether you have the right to use the work. You can even plagiarize your own work.

Plagiarism and copyright infringement have some overlap but they're distinct. You can be guilty of plagiarism by taking something in the public domain and presenting it as your own work.
