Don't post the entire article in the OP, please. You'll end up getting C&D's sent to your instance admins if publishers keep seeing this, because it's - ironically enough in this context - copyright infringement.
Just post a snippet to stay within fair use. Don't ruin Lemmy for all of us over something so silly.
Ok, my bad
What if one feeds the entire article into an LLM and has that rephrase it? Is it derivative then?
Well you can’t copyright what the AI wrote
Only if you say it was written by an AI, that's the lesson here.
Oh shit. I don't want to be in the shoes of those policymakers that have seriously think about this stuff and its edge cases.
That's honestly not a bad idea. I might start doing that next time I post a link, myself!
Other journalists websites do this all the time now, and claim authorship. If they can get away with it, I don't see why we can't.
Only if it introduces biases and errors like a normal person would.
That's a normal newspaper's article. Most articles (non-opinion articles) are rephrasing of press releases from press agencies
Only if you add flying turtles and snarky goblins into the article.
Or, even better, use AI to generate a tldr.
Isn’t that what the autotldr bot basically does?
Exactly
@Chozo @ugjka how’s that if the article is actually linked on the post.
Linking to it is fine, but OP had copy/pasted the full text of the article into the body of the post. It looks like he's since edited it out.
It doesn't happen too often, but I've seen some websites get in trouble for doing that.
