I was going to write, "not for long," which might be true for some. But then I realized there will always be a difference between LLM output and human writing. We don't read blogs because of their facts, we read them because of how the facts are presented and how the author's personality comes through on the page.

EDIT: That said, LLMs are great at faking it, and a lot of amateur writing will be difficult to distinguish from LLM output. So I'm disagreeing with myself a bit.

But we are talking about "slurping up" IP and regurgitating it right? OK. So if I slurp up Mickey Mouse and output Micky Mouse that's an offense. But what if I slurp up a billion images and output some chimera? That's what the LLMs do. And that's what humans do too.
