Is the contrivedness relevant to the legal question? It shows the model contains the copyrighted content and can reproduce it on demand.

Yes. Courts will generally assign blame to whoever did the thing that caused a breach of the law, which in this case is the user.
In other words, law isn’t a programming language.

My brain contains loads of copyrighted info. And if I exactly reproduce it from memory, it's copyright infringement. But if I come up with my own work, even if using that copyrighted info to learn from, it isn't infringement.

I don't understand why people keep comparing humans and computers. The law does not treat machinery equal to a human.

It can go either way.
