I certainly hope that none of these authors have ever read a book before or have been inspired by something written by another author.

That would be a much better comparison if it was artificial intelligence, but these are just reinforcement learning models. They do not get inspired.

just reinforcement learning models

...like the naturally occuring neural networks are.

The brain does not work the way you think… (I work in the field, bio-informatics). What you call “neural networks” come from an early misunderstanding of how the brain stores information. It’s a LOT more complicated and frankly, barely understood.

Are you saying the writers of these programs have read all these books, and were inspired by them so much they wrote millions of books? And all this software is doing is outputting the result of someone being inspired by other books?

Clearly not. He's saying that other authors have done the same as the software does. The software creators implemented the same principle into their llm. You are being daft on purpose.
