Or when you’re singing karaoke and suddenly break into a chorus of the phone number and email address of a random author of a scholarly paper whom you’ve never met whose paper has nothing to do with the lyrics of “Free Bird“?
These models have so many parameters that, while insufficient to memorize all text it has ever seen, it can end up memorizing some of the content. It is the difference between being able to recall a random passage versus recalling the exact thing you need. Both allow you to spill content verbatim, but one is problematic while the other can be helpful.
There are techniques to allow it it ‘read on demand’, but they are not part of the core model (i.e. the autocmpletion model / LLM) and are tacked on top of it. For example, you can tie it search engine, which Microsoft’s copilot does, and is something which I don’t think is enabled for ChatGPT by default. Or allow it to query a external data bank (Retrieval Augmented Generation).
If it doesn’t read it on demand, how does it sometimes spill its training data verbatim then?
The trained model shouldn’t have that, right? But it does?

Do you read a song on demand when you are singing the lyrics verbatim?
