    But is the output original? That’s the real question here. If humans are allowed to learn from information publicly available, why can’t AI?

      No, it isn’t original. Output of AI is just reorganized content that it already has seen.

      AI doesn’t learn, it doesn’t create derivative works. It’s nothing more than reshuffling what it’s already seen, to the point that it will frequently use phrases pulled directly from training data.

        You are saying that it isn’t original content because AI can’t be original. I’m saying if the content isn’t distinguishable from original content, and can’t be directly traced to the source, in what way is it not original?
