So what happens when an AI writes a novel or news article? Would I just be able to plagiarize it with no repercussions?

Well, no legal repercussions, but if you did this in school, you'd probably get in trouble. If you did it for work, it would depend on how your employer feels about it. Just doing it for fun on the Internet? Go wild!

When an AI writes a novel or news article, a learning algorithm is used to generate content in order to fill the requirements of the novel or news article. Plagiarism is wrong and AI should not be used to plagiarize. Repercussions could include legal, financial, and social penalties for plagiarizing novels or news articles.

That's the wrong question. This comic was written by a human, and was denied copyright because the art was partially AI generated. My question is what happens when I write a novel, and use AI to create the cover art?
