It’s an expansion to say that LLM training constitutes a derivative work. You are of course entitled to your opinion that it should be the case; all I can say to that is that in the 2000s and 2010s nearly everyone on the Internet tended to argue for more limitations, not further expansions, of copyright law, and I wonder what happened to that attitude.
