> This is why the distillation case is different. The Chinese distillers are trying to create substantially the same product.
The assertion that the models trained on copyright materials are transformative and substantially different from the original materials, but different models (and ostensibly different weights) trained by distillation are substantially the same seems specious.
Why is training transformative in one case and not the other?

----------------- If weights aren't the same as the data even though they produce the data, how are weights that produce similar outputs different?
The "legal view" smuggles the cintested distinction for distillation by saying it's substantially the same product.
