The examples they provided were for very widely distributed stories (i.e. present in the data set many times over). The prompts they used were not provided.

I mean, sure, it happens. But it’s not a generalizable problem. You’re not going to get it to regurgitate your Lemmy comment, even if they’ve trained on it.

I expect it’ll largely be a solved problem in 5-10 years, if not sooner.
