Of note is that this is the opinion of one person, and he depends on his interpretation of LLMs being able to present information of its own.

It is a gray area for sure. LLMs might present remixed information already available and the current ones are definitely being crafted specifically to not give any "opinion" of its own. But hallucinations can be used to show these AIs are actually providing "new" information and thus are providers.

Regardless, I do not trust the dinosaurs in congress and the supreme court to actually understand this tech and give it a fair judgement.
