    Except that some derivative works are allowed by humans under current copyright law. This has been degraded to the point where reaction videos have some defense as a derivative work.

    If a reaction video is a derivative work, why can’t an AI trained on that work also count?

      “Derivative” is less questionable than “work”.

      For eg. AI Gen imagery is not copyrightable for the most part, legally closer to plagiarism than art?

        Derivative describes what happened to the copyrighted work, not what slop was churned out by it.

        If the plagiarism is far enough from the original work, it isn’t protected by the original copyright.
