Harry Potter is a clone of Star Wars? I don't really see it, any more than any story that follows the Hero's Journey. I remember being a kid and reading Eragon though, and that really was very similar.

Ok, but this is basically impossible to litigate so what's the point of asserting it? Besides, copyright violation still requires distribution.

If you use ChatGPT to recreate the text of Harry Potter, then OpenAI is distributing that to you, which is copyright infringement.

That's a very, erm, poetic understanding of distribution. Good luck bringing suit.
