It may be a simplification, but that in and of itself does not make it
incorrect.
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.
