They weren't given data. They were shown data then the company spent tens of millions of dollars on cpu time to do statistical analysis of the data shown.

A computer being shown data is a computer being given data. I don't understand your argument.

The data is gone by the time a user interacts with the AI. ChatGPT has no access to any books.
