I don’t think many people are getting daily news from LLMs. Journalism has been dying since long before LLMs burst onto the scene as well.
There really isn’t even a defensible argument as to how this even should be illegal. The idea that someone can read words about a concept, and then rewording an explanation of that concept somehow violating the rights of the original author, is absurd.
The issue here and elsewhere isn’t LLMs. It’s that IP as a concept has always been a dystopic farce. Despite this we have not only kicked the can down the road on addressing this, we’ve doubled and tripled down and built our society around the concept. The advent of AI has simply blown the scale of the problem up to the point where it cannot be ignored any longer.

How many people do you think use LLMs in some fashion at all in their daily lives? Genuine question, I'm sure my personal experience is a biased sample, but so is everyone else's. Stats from AI companies isn't going to be (seen as) objective either. OpenAI and Anthropic are pushing a feature where I get a situation report at 9am like I'm an important official. With both labs pushing that, I think some people are getting their daily news from LLMs, the question is how many would it take for it to be meaningful, and how would we know if/when that bar gets crossed? What are the implications of that?
