LLMs don't have anything to do with abstract ideas, they quite literally produce derivative content based on their training data & prompt.

    LLMs abstract information collected from the content through an algorithm (what they store is the result of a series of tests/analysis, not the content itself, but a set of characteristics/ideas). If that makes it derivative, then all abstractions are derivative. It's not possible to make abstractions without collecting data derived from a source you are observing.

    If derivative abstractions were already something that copyright can protect then litigants wouldn't resort to patents, etc.
