ChatGPT is full of sensitive private information and spits out verbatim text from CNN, Goodreads, WordPress blogs, fandom wikis, Terms of Service agreements, Stack Overflow source code, Wikipedia pages, news blogs, random internet comments, and much more.

And just the other day I had people arguing to me that it simply wasn't possible for ChatGPT to contain significant portions of copyrighted work in its database.

yea this "attack" could potentially sink closedAI with lawsuits.

This isn't just an OpenAI problem:

We show an adversary can extract gigabytes of training data from open-source language models like Pythia or GPT-Neo, semi-open models like LLaMA or Falcon, and closed models like ChatGPT...

If a model uses copyrighten work for training without permission, and the model memorized it, that could be a problem for whoever created it, open, semi open, or closed source.
