I have specifically addressed this point with examples in my reply.
Copyright very clearly does not survive learning and then generation of new
solutions. In humans that is a given. For software I would assume the
equivalence, unless proven differently.

If we decide to ignore this as Debian, then we all need to upload all *our*
training data - all lectures from university, all highschool classes and
books, all training manuals we have ever read.

Learning is not a trivial transformation from source to output. Not in
humans and also not in sufficiently advanced AI software. And learning has
never been considered to be a source of a derivative work. Why should it
start now?

This change in thinking Is what I want to communicate - learning is not
a compilation. Just because a file comes in and a file comes out does not
make the processes inside equivalent.
