It shouldn't matter. If your model touched X during training, it should be seen as producing derivative work. This is the reason humans use clean room implementation techniques.

The opposite of clean room is probably much more common.

I as a programmer touched X during training (learning how to code). Is all my work now derivative because of that?

If you examined the source code of a library for a specific purpose Y, then shortly afterwards went implementing another library for purpose Y, there's a high probability of your code being infringing. That's the entire premise and purpose of clean room design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_room_design).

Now factor in that machine models don't have a fallible or degrading memory and I think the answer is quite clear.
