A JPEG is also sorta kinda a derivative work in the abstract. It learns the common patterns in an image and makes a new image with those patterns. A neural network that is hugely overfitting will do the same. The legal (and in this case maybe moral?) line isn't drawn based on the algorithm. The line is drawn based on the output. Is the output sufficiently original and transformative?
