This is the problem Sarah Silverman had and why she is joining in on a lawsuit. It's not just that it trained on her book, it's that if you ask it to do so, it will regurgitate passages from her book verbatim. That is why this is problematic.
That's not really problematic since if anyone online asks me to quote one of many books I can copy-paste passages verbatim and it isn't a copyright violation
Happens all the time in online communities dedicated to book discussion
But what is stopping it from regurgitating the entire book on request?
Have you actually attempted to ask an LLM to do that?
The most basic problem is that it doesn't store information in that way.
