    No, it just means that a bunch of lawyers are going to get rich. They will force judges to legislate exactly what amount of human input is necessary for a work to be copyrightable, and there will be endless lawsuits arguing whether particular pieces of work have enough human creativity in them. Big companies aren’t going to let something like this stop them.

      That’s still better than the direction that we were going toward which was to simply obscure the fact that things were AI generated and allow companies to 100% monetize things. Rather people get some level of credit versus 0%.

      Does anyone know how much human involvement content farm “news” sites that use AI content generation actually employ? I get the sense that they just let the bot run and it scours other news sites for their top stories and then writes its own based on them. Or do they actually have humans telling the AI which events they want it to write about?
