    AI is not human. It doesn’t learn like a human. It mathematically uses what it’s seen before to statistically find what comes next.

    AI isn’t learning, it’s just regurgitating the content it was fed in different ways

      But is the output original? That’s the real question here. If humans are allowed to learn from information publicly available, why can’t AI?

        No, it isn’t original. Output of AI is just reorganized content that it already has seen.

        AI doesn’t learn, it doesn’t create derivative works. It’s nothing more than reshuffling what it’s already seen, to the point that it will frequently use phrases pulled directly from training data.

          You are saying that it isn’t original content because AI can’t be original. I’m saying if the content isn’t distinguishable from original content, and can’t be directly traced to the source, in what way is it not original?

            Because it’s still not creating anything. AI can’t create, it just reorganizes.

          I think you hear a lot of college students say the same thing about their original work.

          What I need to see is output from an AI, and the original content side by side and say “yeah, the AI ripped this off”. If you can’t do that, then the AI is effectively emulating human learning.
