> what if Google deployed some Copilot-like technology to generate its own news feed content?

Would depend on its feed, surely. Taking the fast-but-insane firehose of Twitter and turning it into an accurate and sensible report is value-adding and fair use, prepending a copied article with "<X> reports..." isn't.

Same as creative work really, so I suppose we'll see the same shenanigans.

I don't know how copyright in France works, but in Germany there is no such thing as Fair Use.

Germany doesn't have a 'Fair Use' doctrine, but its Copyright law has analogous restrictions.

copilot has already ended up reproducing longer snippets of its input perfectly, at least for code that appeared multiple times in its training set. Given that a lot of news papers and sites source some of their articles from the same agencies they would probably end up repeating quite a bit of their input word for word.

print some spoof news articles periodically and sue them when they duplicate your "parody content" like the yellow books used to do to prevent duplication of phone numbers.
