AI is just unauthorised plagiarism at a bigger scale

AI systems function as large-scale unauthorized plagiarism by ingesting content without creator consent, then selling the results without compensation. It criticizes AI companies and users for profiting from copied material, citing a personal example where a ChatGPT-generated article copied the author's work and ranked higher in Google searches. The author expresses frustration with both AI-enabled plagiarism and search engines that prioritize such content.

AI is just unauthorised plagiarism at a bigger scale AI takes in all the input, whether the original authors have consented or not, and do some "learning", and then the AI companies sell these learned result to humans, without compensating the original authors. Worse, the customer of these AI companies (AI tools bro) sell the prompted / processed result to other customers, profitting off things AI has copied from all over the internet. Is this what the pinnacle of human is? Lazy and greedy? I research and write e-commerce related tutorials on my own, and a few other lazy website authors just ask ChatGPT to copy a few well performing tutorial online, and then they published it as their own. I found out this because they ranked higher than me in Google search result, and then when I read their article, their article contains links to my actual website, with the exact link text (?!) , which means they didnt bother to check and remove, and thats how I found out. Fuck Google for ranking some copycat website higher than mine, even though they copied my article
