Isn't copyright tethered somehow to a notion of "expression"? That is, the same ideas and facts expressed differently are a different work?

Sure, when something is clearly derived, or just expressed in a new medium, then I'm sure it's still covered. But if it goes through an LLM and the result bears little resemblance, how can that still fall under copyright?

As you said AI can rewrite articles, obtaining a clean cut separation between ideas and expression. Keep the ideas, write a new text. And if you got multiple sources, the more sources you use the better, it would make the output be even more different. This approach could also check consistency and bias between sources.
