    Watching a video or reading an article by a human isn’t copyright infringement, why then if an “AI” do it then it is? I believe the copyright infringement it’s made by the prompt so by the user not the tool.

      If you read an article, then copy parts of that article into a new article, that’s copyright infringement. Same with ais.

        Depends on how much is copied, if it’s a small amount it’s fair use.

          Fair use depends on a lot, and just being a small amount doesn’t factor in. It’s the actual use. Small amounts just often fly under the nose of legal teams.

          Fair use is a four factor test amount used is a factor but a low amount being used doesn’t strictly mean something is fair use. You could use a single frame of a movie and have it not qualify as fair use.

      What does this human is going to do with this reading ? Are they going to produce something by using part of this book or this article ?

      If yes, that’s copyright infringement.

      When a school professor “prompts” you to write an essay and you, the “tool” go consume copyrighted material and plagiarize it in the production of your essay is the infringement made by the professor?
