You don't need to credit for a transformative work. LLMs don't regurgitate like you think they do.

"Copilot has been found to regurgitate long sections of licensed code without providing credit — prompting this lawsuit that accuses the companies of violating copyright law on a massive scale."

Like I said, they don't regurgitate the way you think they do. Doesn't mean it can't regurgitate data if it's overfit to the training data.

Copyright is about the outcome, not the destination. Short of edge cases where two contemporary inventors in different parts of the world funnel upon the same novel idea at the same-ish time, the method doesn't change how we interpret infringement.

So the fact that it's capable of doing it is enough to bring about legal suspicion.
