It doesn't need to be "inherently transformative". Wanting it to be
"inherently transformative" is again asking for "legal protection" and
this simply doesn't exist. It doesn't exist for people, it doesn't exist
for LLMs.

That's not how it works. If that was how it worked, _you_ would also
have needed to show, for every line of code you wrote, that it's not
infringing copyright.

Your output isn't "inherently transformative" either.
