    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’s derivative, then ALL abstract ideas 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 have had to create patents, etc.
