I think this is somewhat like how we memorize when we read but the model is not just rote memorization it is more like compressing and recombining content. The copyright issue is definitely complicated and I am curious how the law will adapt to these technologies in the future.

On what basis do you say that it is like how we memorize when we read? I don't know about you, but it's extraordinarily difficult to memorise an entire book.

But when someone prompts you with a paragraph from a book you read, and asks you to guess the next sentence?

Still tough, but nowhere near as hard as memorizing a whole book. And far easier to come up with something at least plausible.

It's even weirder when someone says banana and you quote the entire 1984.
