    You may not have photographic memory, but dozens of flesh and blood humans do. Are they “illegal” to exist? They can read a book then recite it back to you.

      Those are human beings not machines. You are comparing a flesh and blood person to a suped up autocorrect program that is fed data and regurgites it back.

        Point is: some humans can do this without a machine. If a human is assisted by a machine to do something that other humans can do but they cannot - that is illegal?

          Believe it or not, but if you wrote down the melody for Bohemia rhapsody (from memory or not) and then sold it, you could be fined for copyright infringement. You can memorise it, you can even cover it, but you can’t just sell it. That part still applies to humans. It’s the redistribution of that information that’s important.
