So works derived from other works should not be copyrightable? Oh wait, that's specifically allowed. As long as it's not being reproduced 1:1 then it falls under fair use. The argument that one should get paid for that is absurd. You can't copyright the idea of something. If that were the case then you could never write another poem or novel or short story because someone already did that and to do so would be "stealing." It would be ridiculous.

You have really meandered off the path of what I was talking about. But please, meander. It's interesting.

Well, that's what the person you replied to was saying. Essentially the "AI" is only reading the book, it's not copying the book.

I could rewrite the entire Lord of the rings series in my own words and it wouldn't be copyright infringement. I could sit there with the movies on repeat and the books all open for reference, I don't owe the rights holder anything in that case, as long as I'm but reproducing their work.

They’re just trolling. Feel free to block and ignore, it’s the best way of dealing with them until moderation is more reliable.
