Do we know that it isn’t?
How do we “know” anything where the answers are just being made up as part of humanity’s collective cultural game of Calvinball?
Courts in various jurisdictions will make various rulings. Judges will interpret them in various ways. Legislators will chime in with new legislation and new treaties. Internet arguments will churn away with a whole range of assumptions about what is true or false that may or may not have anything to do with reality.
I present my opinion here. I feel it is well informed and I can back it up in various ways when challenged. But nobody “knows” anything because these aren’t laws of physics or math that we’re talking about here.
Or did you mean whether we know if a copy of the book is embedded in the model? That can be more objectively tested, at least.
AFAIK it takes these large bodies of text and rather than digesting them and keeping it in some sort of database, rather it holistically (and i’m generalising here), see how often certain words are strung together and taking note of that. Let’s call them weights.
Then users can prompt something and the ‘magic’ here is that it is able to pick out words of different weights based on the prompt. Be it, are you writing an angry email to your boss, a code in python, or structure for a book.
But it is unable to recreate the book from a prompt.
People who know the topic more intimately please correct me if I am wrong .
