Taking the fast-but-insane firehose of Twitter and turning it into an accurate and sensible report is value-adding and fair use, prepending a copied article with "<X> reports..." isn't. Same as creative work really, so I suppose we'll see the same shenanigans.

  copilot has already ended up reproducing longer snippets of its input perfectly, at least for code that appeared multiple times in its training set. Given that a lot of news papers and sites source some of their articles from the same agencies they would probably end up repeating quite a bit of their input word for word.
