AI has been trained using vast amounts of online content, which is similar to how humans acquire knowledge to create content. For instance, I use AI to assist with coding and have noticed that it can generate code that utilizes non-existent functions from non-existent libraries that appear flawless but do not actually exist. Therefore, in its attempt to be creative, AI can create inaccurate code functions that have never existed before, effectively becoming a bullshit generator. My point is that it is not merely copying someone else's work, but rather using all the information it has been fed to create something new that appears to fit the requirements. I would argue that AI using public content is not that much different from how the same content influences the creation of human content. It will be interesting to see how the laws evolve around what content the AI can use to train its future models with but my guess is ultimately anything that publicly accessible online will be fair play for AI's to consume.

We're not talking about coding, with that, there are bound to be flaws, we are however talking about written contents, it's rather quite easy to paraphrase a prexisting work to create a new one but that doesn't change the fact that it's a product of "human content" which is literally how many content on the Internet are created.
Yes, AI can copy other humans just as humans copy each other. The quality of the content generated by AI largely depends on the prompter. While AI can certainly paraphrase existing works, it can also be creative and produce nearly 100% unique content if the prompts are tailored correctly. However, it's also possible for AI to generate complete bull shit. Same with the code AI produces, much of the code will be exact copies of other examples or slight variations while it can also produce totally new code that never been created before it can also make up non existent commands that will not work and don't exist. For me AI is a tool for both assisting in coding and writing new content and people who write it off as a trash generator are as you said going to regret underestimating AI.
You basically just said the same thing twice and I feel like you're missing the whole point; "AI CONTENT IS A PRODUCT OF HUMAN CONTENT"
While I do agree to some extent, my point is human content is also a product of other humans content. Maybe AI is the extreme and humans have many outside data points to pull from. AI will continue to evolve past the current state where the content produced is derived no differently then that of humans.
