Literally every single example provided on this article is like a 1 or 2 sentence example.

Of course it sounds the same. There are only so many ways to say “this is how you avoid overdraft fees”.

Give me a fuxking break. That isn’t plagiarism. It’s running out of words to say the same thing. If they had used more than 2 sentences in their examples, I’m confident the 2 texts would have diverged more. But come on, of course 1 or 2 sentences about the same topic are going to sound/look the same.

I guarantee this shit passes copyscape which is what 99% of digital marketers use to check for duplicate/plagiarized content.

So, is that all plagiarism? According to this article, it is.

IMHO it ignores the spirit of copyright or trademark which should be something as a whole that is truly unique. I recall Apple wanting to trademark rounded corners on phones or something similar. Or an artist trying to copyright chord progressions which on their own do very little.

AI images, coding and writing is impacting people who feel what they do has some intrinsic value that only they can provide using a specific process they utilize.

We all build on our experiences of what we hear, read, see, touch, etc. I think the term "create" is misleading. Humans build using physical resources here long before our individual existence. Outside of the occasional meteor everything is basically recycled into a new form.

AI is coming for the mental aspect of humanity reducing us to ones and zeros and our egos may have a hard time adjusting.

I’m a digital marketer and have spent 20+ years writing content and in a lot of cases “rewriting content” to avoid duplicate content filters.

I’d venture a guess than 95%+ or commercial content on the internet is just rehash on rehash on rehash. But is it plagiarism to write the same thing using completely different words?

In general I agree with you. Imagine someone claiming plagiarism for the terms like "Click here for more information" or "Stock market reaches all time high".
