Model weight are akin to markov chains and compressed data. They are direct representations of the data they where created from in the same way that markov chains are created from hidden markov chains and Zipped files are created from files.

Zipping a file does not grant the copyright protection of the zipped output beyond the copyright of the original file.

Moreover the American federal registrar has officially stated that AI generated artifacts are not eligible for copyright https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/03/16/2023-05....

If you take some copyrighted data, a set of books, for example. And count words in these books and then plot a distribution of top 100 word frequencies. The copyright for that new image would belong to you.

Copyright in the specific image sure, but not the graph itself. Someone else could do the same thing and make their own graph image.

Exactly. Data is not covered by American copyright and artifacts generated by LLM and diffusion tools are not covered by copyright protection unless there was human involvement and humans are transparent about how they participated in the creation of the artifacts.
