Have you tried just telling it to "continue"?

Somewhere in the comments to this post I posted screenshots of me trying to get lyrics for "We will rock you" from ChatGPT. It first just spat out "Verse 1: Buddy," and ended there. So I answered with "continue", it spat out the next line and after the second "continue" it gave me the rest of the lyrics.

Similar story with e.g. the first chapter of Harry Potter 1 and other stuff I tried. The output is often not perfect, with a few words being wrong, but it's very clearly a "derived work" of the original. In the view of copyright law, changing a few words here is not a valid way of getting around copyrights.
