    Of course, this is about the grey area of AI. But how is the copyright infringed? Yes, the AI was fed the book, how is that different if I read the book and began writing in his style, because i have read the book, with my own different story? As in the example given.

    What if the AI was only fed 50% of the books?

      @ogeist The copyright infringement (if any) will be at the point of copying and distributing the book.

      For example if I went out and photocopied this guy’s entire novel and stapled it together and gave it to you, that’s technically copyright infringement.

      Has nothing to do with what you or I write ourselves subsequently except if what we write proves that I must have copied the book and illegally distributed it then that could be evidence.

      Plagiarism is not the only kind of copyright infringement.
