That's a bald faced lie.
and it can produce copyrighted works.
E.g. I can ask it what a Mindflayer is and it gives a verbatim description from copyrighted material.
I can ask Dall-E "Angua Von Uberwald" and it gives a drawing of a blonde female werewolf. Oops, that's a copyrighted character.
I think what they mean is that ML models generally don't directly store their training data, but that they instead use it to form a compressed latent space. Some elements of the training data may be perfectly recoverable from the latent space, but most won't be. It's not very surprising as a result that you can get it to reproduce copyrighted material word for word.
I think you are confused, how does any of that make what I said a lie?
I can do that too. It doesn't mean I directly copied it from the source material. I can draw a crude picture of Mickey Mouse without having a reference in front of me. What's the difference there?
If you have a crude picture of Mickey Mouse and you make money from it, Disney definitely has a chance at going after you.
That's due to trademark, not copyright.
