Why Isn't Google's "Generative AI Search" Copyright Theft?

Because facts aren&#x27;t copyrightable.<p>I think it&#x27;s good that Google Search is getting shaken up. There&#x27;s too much useless blogspam put together by &quot;SEO experts&quot; that nobody actually reads or wants to read, and if it&#x27;s going to be that or nothing but Reddit comments, then Reddit comments would be better.<p>This guy posts about nothing but how terrible Google HCU is. I&#x27;d be interested in knowing what kind of websites he works on boosting, and whether they actually have content that people want to read without needing meticulous SEO optimisation to achieve good results.

I know that a lot of content on the web is rehashed itself, but many creators actually review products themselves, speak from first hard experience, research, etc.<p>The original knowledge has to come from someone human.<p>How can Google promote its &quot;1 trillion facts&quot; database of scrapped content and just use it to show answers to searchers alongside ads.<p>Seems like they are doing this without regard for much anything else because OpenAI is a new entrant and about to threaten their search empire?
