Probably wasn't checked at all.


It's not "just copying". But calling it "training" (or machine learning) is a lie, Marketing-Speak, and the content for LLMs is copied, but just not in a normal easily accessible replay with sane source identification (which would be more useful as then you'd have a decent interactively driven search engine)*. The entire LLM part of AI is dishonest and misleading. No computer system learns or is trained in the sense the words are traditionally used. The entire industry segment is like Humpty Dumpty in Alice through the Looking Glass. They are using anthropomorphic phrasing and descriptions that are dishonest or at best misleading.
