Yeah, that's basically it.

But I think what's getting overlooked in this conversation is that it probably doesn't matter whether it's AI or not. Either new content is derivative or it isn't. That's true whether you wrote it or an AI wrote it.

I agree with that, but do politicians and judges who know absolutely nothing about the subject?

I haf a professor in college who taught about cyber security. He was renowned in his field and was asked by the RIAA to testify about some cases related to file sharing. I lost respect for him when he intentionally refrained from stating that it wasnt possible for anyone outside of the home network yo know what or who was actually downloading stuff. The technology was being ignored and an invalid view was presented for a judge who couldn't ELI5 how the internet worked let along actually networking protocols.
