But if it produces the whole article verbatim, it should be relatively straightforward to match its output to the training set and give attribution, no?

If you copy every NYT article and publish them on your own site, writing "this is from the NYT" under it doesn't make it legal.

Doesn't make legal what? Copying or publishing the articles? The model output could as easily be modified to output link to the article instead of quoting it verbatim.

Okay and if ChatGPT did that then NYT wouldn't have a case. Except that's now how it works.
