Except that it's objectively different.

A closer example would be a programmer copying somebody else's code line for line but switching the order of some things around and calling it their own creation.

AI cannot think nor add to work. It cannot extract information in order to answer a question. It is spitting out an exact copy of what was ingested because that is the scenario the system decided was "correct".

If AI could parse information and actually create new intellectual property like a human, I'd find it reasonable, but as it stands it's just spitting out previous work.

Well, that's simply not true.

You can say that without explaining but you just look like an idiot.

It's the same reason gpt4 will write you working ransomware without ever noticing that it's writing ranosomware. The AI doesn't understand what's going on. It just does what it does because of a virtual cookie based on a calculated score.

Ok, where did GPT-4 copy the ransomware code? You can't reshuffle lines of code much before the program breaks. Should be easy to find.
