Does anyone know what the copyright status of LLM generated content is? That is, if I feed a NYT article into GPT4 and say, summarize this article, and then publish that summary, is there argument or precedent that says that is or is not copyright infringement? Asking for a friend.

Typically if you ask a chatbot to "summarize" something, it will paraphrase the original closely enough that it would be considered plagiarism and copyright infringement. To avoid that, it's required to distill the relevant ideas contained in the text, and expound on them in a way that's not dependent on how the text itself was expressed, structured or organized. You would need to tell the model to do this over multiple steps, and then derive a rephrased article without looking at the original at all. (Which is not really possible if the article was in the AI's training set, as is the case here.)
