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.

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.

That's a normal newspaper's article. Most articles (non-opinion articles) are rephrasing of press releases from press agencies
