Why good?
These things should not at all be scraping without express permission of the author or the company who owns the work. It’s just completely wrong for them to do as such.
It is complicated for sure as a human is allowed to read BBC and use that information/knowledge anyway they wish including as a source for their own articles/videos. There is no copyright on knowledge and we really should not be allowing BBC to block AI from learning as it does benefit society when knowledge is easily accessible.
What if ChatGPT claims that the generated text are a compilation from various sources and not its own? Do you need permission to read and summarize an article?
Yes because ChatGPT is in the same niche as the websites they are taking from being written text and thus direct competitors whilst being a for profit service using the work of the other entity directly. Sometimes without credit.
I 100% guarantee you regularly read/watch something and use that knowledge in your life, including to make money. I very much doubt you credit every source of knowledge.
