Well, it's not as simple as that.

Plagiarism
the process or practice of using another person's ideas or work and pretending that it is your own

Copying and pasting from an AI is not subject to copyright issues in many cases. In the case of the OP he is not simply copying and pasting something that the AI is making up, in order for the AI to produce that text he has had to give it a source of information from where the text has been generated. There is no plagiarism in the sense of the Cambridge dictionary and there is no copyright problem.

I'm going to strongly disagree with you here. I'd argue the Cambridge dictionary's reference to a "person" is outdated. So I'm going to follow a more modern definition, including verbal diarrhea made up by chatbots.

I'm only going to mildly disagree with you here. I agree with what you write, but I feel the word you use is outdated. Copyright originally was a way to protect one person from lazily gaining profit from another's work. (An example of this was shown in an episode of Little House on the Prairie Season 5, Episode 17, titled "The Craftsman.") <-- I looked that up on deepseek as I didn't know how to word the query on Google. Now, some could argue that search engines like Google have been committing copyright for years. Another argument could made for Grammarly, who does not cite the author of the books they get their rules from. I'm not trying to point out holes in your argument, instead I'm trying to argue that the entire concept of copyright has to be reimagined; the information (value) of each idea is now available instantly to everyone. If we could redo the copyright industry, imagine how less expensive things like vehicles could become? Manufacturers pay each other for ideas they would have discovered anyway - with faster AI, two competitors can come up with the same idea just minutes apart.

TLDR: The copyright industry is outdated, so I'm going to lean towards a more modern approach and give authors the benefit of the doubt and deal with extreme cases.
