Yes. They can also reload a backup from before the data in question was added to the training data and retrain from that point. This is also what will need to be done if AI companies lose their copyright lawsuits.
None of this is impossible. Its just expensive. And these are expenses that AI companies could have avoided if they picked their datasets more carefully.
It's crazy that they aren't taking at least daily captures of the model nor having it record what information it processes.
I would be shocked if they don't. It's pretty critical for any software development, AI or not, to retain the ability to roll back changes in the case any change breaks something.
