Good time to be a top IP Lawyer?
I think like Google scanning books in libraries and everywhere else vs Internet Archive scanning books the issue is what you do with the content when you've captured it.
The privacy of people using the tools is a separate issue.
Returning extracts of newspaper sites in search is a different thing to "inventing" complete stories by mixing up complete captures.
Which leads to the third issue, that search returns links and snippets of real content and the real source; these tools deliberately obfuscate the source and "invent" content that's supposedly real but fictitious. That's potentially libel as for example when ChatGPT does give a source it might quote a real source but a "fact" that's made up from scraping elsewhere. Cue irate newspapers and companies suing OpenAI/Microsoft. Or Alphabet (Google's Bard).
So maybe not as fine a hair at it might at first seem.
