That's absolutely not true. You can file a patent based on idea that you had that came from discussions with other people. For example, somebody came up with a wheeled cart, somebody came up with an engine and you have an idea to just combine those two ideas by putting an engine on a car. It is patentable even if the material is not 100% your own. What is patentable is a novel idea. You need to bring something new to the table, and that AI definitely can do. The fact the knowledge it uses comes from training material has nothing to do with it. Almost everything factual you know comes from other people anyway.

When you file a patent based on a "novel" application or combination of existing ideas, or ideas from other sources, those ideas are not something you can patent. e.g in "somebody came up with a wheeled cart, somebody came up with an engine" your patent would not cover either sub idea (contextually, the thing the "AI" came up with), so all something needs to do is say given the non-patentable idea you got from a machine your patent covers an obvious application then your patent is invalid. A whole bunch of laws passed over the last decade to try to limit the validity of "X but on a Y" (where Y is in the theme of computer, internet, etc) style BS patents.
