If I train a ML model not unlike GPT3 that scrapes all the major news websites across the world and creates new completely reworded articles, to post to a website and charge people via ads/subs, would that be legal?

I am not a lawyer but that is probably somewhere between the realm of derivative works [1] which the original author would have to approve and plagiarism as computerliker mentioned. I am only guessing but I would expect the court to determine how much of the original underlying work was used to create the new piece.

Might ML/GPT become a boon for copyright lawyers?
