For sure, AI can reproduce wholesale verbatim copies of text from miscellaneous sources. It can also create images that are so close to random deviantartists’ images that it’s undeniably plagiaristic. I expect this bug will be worked out eventually, but it is currently quite capable of doing this. In other words, you could say the weights contain a lossy encoding of many artists’ works, and those works can (lossily) be eked out of the model with some coercion.
By “use” I actually meant “reproduce portions of” and “make derivative works of”
AI doesn’t do that though.

Which AI models? Can you share some examples please?
Here’s a poignant example IMO:
