No. But if you train it on one million Star Wars-like films, and then generate
a film that is like them, but isn't a copy of any of them, then that generated
film is - this is the argument - not a derived work.

That's because compression works by identifying common patterns, and
the common patterns aren't copyrightable. (Because if they were, all
these one million films would all infringe on one another's copyright.)

So, N=1, infringement, N=1,000,000,000 - not infringement. There's
probably a cutoff point somewhere, and the training data sets are very
likely above it.
