Was also going to reply to them!
"Well if you do that you source and reference. AIs do not do that, by design can't.
So it's more like you summarized a bunch of books. Pass it of as your own research. Then publish and sell that.
I'm pretty sure the authors of the books you used would be pissed."
Again cannot reply to kbin users.
"I don't have a problem with the summarized part ^^ What is not present for a AI is that it cannot credit or reference. And that is makes up credits and references if asked to do so." @[email protected]
Good point, attribution is a non-trivial part of it.
It is 100% legal and common to sell summaries of books to people. That's what a reviewer does. That's what Wikipedia does in the plot section of literally every Wikipedia page about every book.
This is also ignoring the fact that Chat GPT is a hell of a lot more than a bunch of summaries
