Your prediction seems depressing but I can't think of a solid argument against it. Already there are sites that pay people to copy content from other sites or scrape & paste it. They rank higher than the original site by combining relevant data from multiple sites. AI that can copy-paste articles will make that business infinitely scalable and harder to detect.
What you describe could also be considered copyright laundering, but critically it is understood to be such—it is frowned upon and is penalized by the likes of Google. If we apply the same understanding to LLM design it might actually be half the battle.
