That's exactly what they've done in a number of the lawsuits, so I'm not sure why you think that hasn't occurred.

I think it's occurred. That's why I wrote this in the very next paragraph: "Yes, for some texts that's possible."

The point is that for most texts, it is not possible. It's not able to recall what I wrote on Geocities in 1995, even though there's a good chance it was trained on it.

No one is suing over what you wrote on Geocities in 1995...
No but it's still copyrighted content and subject to the same protections.
