Well - a computer program can do that, so this is not confind only to LLMs. However had, at the end of the day, people using such a system may be in violation of copyright, if this can be proven in court. This kind of makes LLMs viral and contagious in and by itself. Imagine you are a company, you use LLMs to sell software, then it is shown in court that you effectively stole GPL protected code. I am pretty certain that the courts would hold you reliable, because otherwise they would grant an exception to LLMs, but in doing so, they also would grant an exception to software (as LLMs are just software at the end of the day), and this would undermine the whole legislation here. So I don't think AI destroys creative commons, but it will bring many smaller companies in trouble if these want to depend on AI.
