There is a legal distinction between what happens in my head and what 
happens on a device.  There has to be, because it is unconscionable for 
the law to restrict one's thoughts.  It is legal for me to read a 
copyrighted book, even if doing so produces a perfect copy of the same 
book in my brain.  It is not legal for me to copy the same book on a device.

My argument is not that a LLM produces output that would be considered 
copyright-infringing if produced by a human.  My argument is that the 
LLM itself is a violation of copyright, which taints all of its output 
regardless of what the output looks like.
