This is not how U.S. copyright law works. In order for something to eligible for copyright protection, it must be "fixed in a tangible medium of expression". Someone's exact words can be copyrighted, but their ideas or their style cannot be.

- danans 3y agoI'm arguing that we should draw a line here between human mimicry and machine mimicry. When it comes to machine mimicry, we should protect style, even if we don't do that today. Our laws are built on the now flawed assumption that machines are not capable of style mimicry. I do not believe in giving machines the same rights of personhood.
