Paraphrase launderingn.

The practice of feeding a passage from a source into a model and treating the reworded output as your own writing about the source. It is not paraphrase — it is hidden quotation, because the engagement with the source has been outsourced. The honest version reads the source, closes it, and writes from memory and notes.
