Has anyone been able to actually get a verbatim copy of a written article? The NYT got a ~100 word fragment made up of multiple snippets of a ~15k word article, with the different snippets not even being in order. (The Times had to re-arrange the snippets to match the article after the fact)
I am simply not aware of anyone successfully doing this.
The amount of content required to call it a "Copy" is also a gray area.
Same with the idea of "prompting" and the amount required to generate that copywritten output - again there's the extremes of "The prompt includes copywritten information" to "Vague description".
Arguably some of the same issues exist outside AI, just it's accessibility, scale, and lack of a "Legal Individual" on one side complicates things. For example, if I describe Micky Mouse sufficiently accurately to an artist they reproduce it to the degree it's considered copyright infringement, is it me or the artist that did the infringement? Then what if the artist /had/ seen the previously copywritten artwork, but still produced the same output from that same detailed prompt?
