Well, let's say, an alternative history novel, is it just ripping off a history textbook or is there more going on?

How about an exact duplicate of the all characters but they have sex with each other?

So, because of certain tech patents, patents and IP are bogus in general? What's the point, then?

(Meaning, if we're making generalisation from worst examples a virtue, there will be hardly an argument left. E.g., as there are buggy programs, LLMs are just yet another bug.)
