This likely won’t be the first time this happens.

    But why would anyone commit anything fraudulent by that? Where exactly does it become “too much” AI?

    I did it very iffy to argue that writing in the style of someone else is illegal. That’s a perfectly normal thing to happen. Maybe AI makes it easier, but if an action is not illegal, why would doing the same thing tool assisted be illegal? Doesn’t make sense.

      I think that writing in someone else’s style to an extent that it becomes very obvious is indeed something that raises copyright concerns.

        No, how would it? You can’t copyright a style.

          Well, there have been several music lawsuits about certain songs and their amount of identity to others. If you were to write something as closely to another author that you are imitating something like trademark mannerisms there may be a case for that.

            Identity and style are two completely different things, though.

            In literature, there are no trademark mannerisms.
