Are you saying that all news outlet that rewords the news of other news outlet are doing copyright infringement ?

  The underlying fact is of course not copyrightable. But for example merely translating a news article to another language would be a derived work.

    So if I read your article and then write a new using just the facts in your article it’s fine? Why can’t an AI do that?

      No, if you copy the same layout of the information, pacing, etc. that's plagiarism. The line of plagiarism in modern society has already been drawn, and it's a lot further back than a lot of uncreative people that want to steal work en-mass seem to think it is.

        “rewrite the key insights of this article but with different layout and pacing”. Your move?
        • Xelynega 3y ago
          Exactly, if you have a human take in the information and make something that is arguably "different layout and pacing" then its possible it's not plagiarism. Unfortunately no such leeway exists for algorithms, and the human elements of creation and judgement are integral to the process so they cant be codified and worked around without changing the law.

            That’s not a meaningful argument. The world is not very different if there’s a minimum wage “author” in the loop whose job is to add human spice to AI outputs.

    That's what most news outlet do, they rewords the actual source. According to your previous statement, 95% of the press articles are copyright infringement.
