> Regurgitation seconds after is what already happens with the AP though.

The AP makes about half a billion a year from other outlets paying them for permission to regurgitate their content. That's not the same as the AI lobby saying they should be allowed to scrape apnews.com and publish articles derived from the content they get from there, for free, and without attribution.

I do see your point, and yeah theft is theft and theft is bad. But what I’m getting at is more the POV for media consumers.

If it’s regurgitated / unoriginal anyway then I don’t think most people care much whether it’s summarized/subjected to extra spin and fluff by a person or by a machine.
