Why the carve-out for plagiarism? And how does an LLM reciting all or part of a work verbatim not qualify as plagiarism?

Because if you present yourself as the author, it follows that the actual author is deprived of attribution. So you are actually taking something from that person.

LLM could commit plagiarism if authorship of generated media was claimed for either the LLM or its creators.
