There's a key dichotomy here:
While it is technically possible for you to read some GPL'd code, memorize it, and then reproduce it later by accident. That's not how programmers work. What humans remember is not the copyrightable code, but the patentable algorithm. (And there are few algorithms that are simple enough to memorize on a cursory reading, novel enough to be patentable, but not so novel you'll remember it's source)
AI does not work in algorithms. It's a language model. It deals purely in the copyrightable code. (Both figuratively; LLMs are structurally incapable of the high level abstract reasoning required, and literally by way of the training data)
