AI isn’t just “predictive text,” but calling it plagiarism is like saying humans can’t have original thoughts because they’ve read books. That said, billionaires profiting off unpaid labor? Now that’s a real and familiar problem.

Calling it plagiariasm is like saying humans can't have original thoughts because they have read STOLEN books. And so far I have yet to see AI have even one single ORIGINAL thought, just paste together bits and pieces of the material its owners stole for it to use.
It's plagiarism PERIOD. The "algorithm" takes words OTHER PEOPLE WROTE and rearranges them to pretend it's something new. That's the literal DEFINITION of plagiarism.
That's how "large language models" work: plagiarism.
Yes, AI is trained on existing work—just like every human writer, artist, or musician is influenced by what they’ve read, seen, or heard. The difference is that AI doesn’t copy-paste, it learns patterns and generates new combinations. If that’s plagiarism, so is every creative work ever made.
