Retired computer programmer who is now a Volunteer Naturalist and Volunteer Ranger for local and state parks. And I play hockey to try to stay in shape.
If I read a book to inform myself, put my notes in a database, and then write articles, it is called “research”. If I write a computer program to read a book to put the notes in my database, it is called “copyright infringement”. Is the problem that there just isn’t a meatware component? Or is it that the OpenAI computer isn’t going a good enough job of following the “three references” rule to avoid plagiarism?
The whole point of swearing on the bible was to get God to be involved in enforcing the oath. So your disbelief may negate this aspect.

With guns if necessary.
