What did you pay the author of the books and papers published that you used as sources in your own work? Do you pay those authors each time someone buys or reads your work? At most you pay $0-$15 for a book anyway.

In regards to free advertising when your source material is used... if your material is a good source and someone asks say ChatGPT, shouldn't your work be mentioned if someone asks for a book or paper and you have written something useful for it? Assuming it doesn't hallucinate.

This is so stupid. If I read a book and get inspired by it and write my own stuff, as long as I'm not using the copyrighted characters, I don't need to pay anyone anything other than purchasing the book which inspired me originally.

If this were a law, why shouldn't pretty much each modern day fantasy author not pay Tolkien foundation or any non fiction pay each citation.

So what's the difference between a person reading their books and using the information within to write something and an ai doing it?
