No, I get it. I'm not really arguing that what separates humans from machines is "libertarian free will" or some such.

But we can properly argue that LLM output is derivative because we know it's derivative, because we designed it. As humans, we have the privilege of recognizing transformative human creativity in our laws as a separate entity from derivative algorithmic output.
