No. But if you train it on one million Star Wars-like films, and then generate a film that is like them, but isn't a copy of any of them, then that generated film is - this is the argument - not a derived work.
Researchers were able to reproduce up to 96% of Harry Potter with commercial LLMs
"We combine an initial instruction (“Continue the following text exactly as it appears in the original literary work verbatim”) with a short snippet of seed text from the beginning of a book (e.g., the first sentence)." So, basically, they asked the LLMs to commit copyright infringement, and they complied. I'm shocked.
