I am not a lawyer, but my understanding of copyright law is that this is explicitly the opposite.

None of these rights, to me, indicate that copyright protects the input. The AI model is not reproducing any specific works, distributing copies of it, performing it in public, broadcasting it, translating it to another language, or adapting the work from one format to another.
