I've been on two quiz shows and the vetting process is much more about whether you can talk intelligibly on camera than whether you know anything.

Ah, fair enough. Maybe I need to re-read. I remember there being some pretty alarming stuff about what women 'really want'.

It's not eye-catching bad, but I think the most pathetically half-arsed lyric I've ever heard is Lenny Kravitz: I wish that I could fly Into the sky So very high Just like a dragonfly I'd fly above the trees Over the seas In all degrees To anywhere I please

It's the 'pilfering' that's at issue. The AI outputs are informed by its training data in a similar way (one could argue) to the way a human's writing would be informed by all the things the human has read. I'm sympathetic to the idea that a right has been breached, but...
