Well yes. If you reproduce passages from a book (from memory or otherwise) and present it as your own, that is copyright infringement. We have lots of well established law about how much things can be similar without infringing.

LLMs that are just spitting out full copies of what they were trained on aren't functioning correctly or haven't been trained on enough content.

So all of them? None of the LLM's are "functioning correctly"? Because I can get every LLM to reproduce passages from a book.
