The lawsuit isn't about plagiarism; it's about using content without obtaining permission.

And exactly which AI is republishing content unmodified?

We are creating content based on this article, but no one is accusing us of stealing content. AIs creating original content based on their “experience” is only plagiarism (or copyright violation) if it isn’t substantially original.

Is it stealing to learn how to draw by referencing other artists online? That's how these training algorithms work.

I agree that we need to keep this technology from widening the wealth gap, but these lawsuits seem to fundamentally misunderstand how training an AI model works.
