It’s not “admitting” anything. It’s literally just creating text based on the last few things you said.
It is currently completely legal to use public facing work to train and fine tune AI models.
It’s fair use and you can’t copyright away fair use, this shows absolutely nothing.
You can’t really say it’s fair use, especially for summaries or use as answers to questions if the original purpose of the work is the same.
And that’s without approaching licensing issues which override free use and copyright law.
I can’t feed publicly available code that’s license as gpl into an llm and not license the resulting code as gpl.

I too use copyrighted works without permission 🏴☠️
This isn’t a smoking gun.
You can’t trust that ChatGPT is telling the truth, but also the use of copyrighted material is acceptable under a fair use standard written into US copyright law. Whether it is fair use or not is up to a court to decide, but “without permission” doesn’t automatically mean “illegally.”
Who cares what ChatGPT says? You can get it to say literally anything.

Using copyrighted works without permission isn’t illegal and shouldn’t be.
