> There’s no question these neural networks and their output are derivative works. A derivative work is an expressive creation that includes major copyrightable elements of a first, previously created original work (the underlying work). There is absolutely no agreement that what neural networks do (as a rule) counts as such, so it is not at all correct to say "there is no question..." If learning how to draw by watching other people draw makes everything you draw a derivative work, then perhaps you have a point.
