That's how copyright has always worked. Fair use is complex, but as long as you're not straight up copying someone's work you're fine. 50 Shades of Grey started out as Twilight fanfiction. So yeah, you could.

    Yes fair use has its stipulations but AI is breaking new grounds here. We are no longer dealing with the reaction videos but in an era where literally dozen of pages of content can be generated in a matter of minutes, with relatively little human involvement. Perhaps it's time to revisit if the law still holds in light of these new technology and tools.

    Fair use has never been seriously challenged. I’m betting it might happen soon though. We have to remember Fair Use isn’t a law, it’s a set of guidelines under the law that has never been clearly defined.

    First of all, fair use is not a set of guidelines, it's a legal doctrine that allows us limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the owner. It is a part of the U.S. Copyright Act, which is a law enacted by Congress.

    Second, fair use has been seriously challenged plenty of times, just to name a few:

    • Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.

    • Authors Guild v. Google, Inc.

    • Lenz v. Universal Music Corp.

    I recommend reading this article by Kit Walsh, who’s a senior staff attorney at the EFF, a digital rights group who recently won a historic case: border guards now need a warrant to search your phone.

    Fair use protects creativity, innovation, and our freedom of expression, but You almost sound like you want it weakened.
