I'd think that given the nature of the language models and how the whole AI thing tends to work, an author can pluck a unique sentence from one of their works, ask AI to write something about that, and if AI somehow 'magically' writes out an entire paragraph or even chapter of the author's original work, well tada, AI ripped them off.
