If a human (ahem) can write a (sometimes opinionated) summary of an article they read online, then why can't an AI do it? I'm not sure, but that's the basis for this lawsuit between Brave (the web browser) which produces the summaries and News Corp (the evil media conglomerate run by Rupert Murdoch) which produces the stories. "Decades of legal precedent and practice confirm that it is not copyright infringement to index website content to maintain a search engine," Brave argues in its complaint to the federal district court. "Instead, it is fair use."
