Quoting isn't the problem here. There's already vast precedent for allowing it as fair use, even when generated by computer systems. The issue is that ChatGPT reproduces entire articles verbatim.

But if it produces the whole article verbatim, it should be relatively straightforward to match its output to the training set and give attribution, no?

  If you copy every NYT article and publish them on your own site, writing "this is from the NYT" under it doesn't make it legal.

    Doesn't make legal what? Copying or publishing the articles? The model output could as easily be modified to output link to the article instead of quoting it verbatim.

      Okay and if ChatGPT did that then NYT wouldn't have a case. Except that's now how it works.

Only in very contrived circumstances. It is not like you ask ChatGPT for the news and you get a NYT article. They gave ChatGPT a link to the article and the first few paragraphs, and then told it to complete the article.
