No, the functions weren’t trivial, and a lot of the surrounding code and structure bore substantial similarities as well. If you saw the two files next to each other, you’d assume it was the result of a copy-paste-adjust process if you didn’t know an LLM was involved.
I can only speculate that the model that generated the code hasn't undergone selective unlearning for verbatim data (SUV) or something similar. As you understand "sometimes generates verbatim code" and "just regurgitates [non-trivial] portions its input" are different statements.
The possibility of SUV clearly shows that a model does more than "just regurgitating."
