As someone pointed out, plenty of blogs made money off of doing just that. Many people go to Reddit to read news article summaries (and often a comment just pastes the whole article verbatim), instead of paying a site like the New York Times. Twitter and other social media sites are full of people summarizing articles from the New York Times. Any late breaking news article from Wikipedia is going to be mostly summarizing information from reporters.

I think people severely underestimate how much they've grown accustomed to this information being freely available. It's easy to say "Well it shouldn't be available with ChatGPT," but if we actually put everything back behind a paywall and stopped people from doing things like writing blogs or newsletters that summarize the news, people here would get angry very fast.
