Surely the only way you overcome this is to write a system which can actually generate something new, rather than regurgitate an incredibly complicated statistical reworking of things it got trained on. I did note how the author said that training models on other models doesn't have the ethical implications of training on stolen human data - except it does, because where did the first model get its training set from? This is why we make it illegal not just to steal but also to handle stolen goods.
