No it is not Plagiarism.

It actually would be. "Plagiarism is the representation of another person's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work." It does not matter whether an LLM told you it was fine. If you cite the LLM in a manner that shows you agree (!) and the LLM attributes a work of somebody else to you, then the conditions are fulfilled.

Why is it that so many people lose all natural intelligence when a problem with LLMs gets pointed out?

The law is already in place, you are just too ignorant to know it. Humans get an exception for memorization as that does legally not count as data processing. But as soon as a human publicly performs a copyrighted work from memory, they must have a license. Look up "Happy Birthday" ...

This is a key point. A human can memorize the entire contents of a book, and that act of memorization is neither plagiarism nor copyright violation. It's only when that memorized information is externalized and distributed that legal issues might come into play. Even if that human externalized the entire book by reciting it to himself, that wouldn't be a violation. If the human answered questions from 1000 people and quoted excerpts that were individually fair use, simply answering more questions is not necessarily a breach of fair use.

I imagine that an AI model would have to be treated the same. Simply knowing the entire book should not be a violation. However, how that information is externalized and shared is the question.

No. An AI that "knows" the entire book actually has the book stored in digital form. It does not matter if the storage is indirect. And that happens to be an unauthorized copy, because an AI is a machine and what it has stored is a copy of that data.
