In case of illegal numbers, intention matters. Because any number could be converted to different numbers, for instance through 'xor encryption' different 'encoding' or other mathematical operations, which would equally be illegal if used with the intention to copy copyright protected material.

This was the case previously. You cannot simply reencode a video, a big number on your disk, with a different codec into another number in order to circumvent copyright.

However, if big business now argues that copyright protected work encoded in neuronal network models is not violating copyright and generated work has no protection, then this previous rule isn't true anymore. And we can strip copyright from everything using that 'hack'.
