While exactly "the data" may not be "in" the derived work, because of the process of their creation, "their spirit" are in the derived work, as they were a part of the new data's production. That strongly seems "derived" to me, whether that "spirit" is inspirational or gives rise to "do

I'm not an attorney, but I do have an opinion. Just because there "is no data from OSM in the dataset" does not mean they are (or aren't) derived. If OSM data were used in conjunction with its production, I think an argument can be made that those work are derived. The question would be:

I would believe it isn’t a derived work, as there is no data from OpenStreetMap in the dataset. I agree with Mateusz, if they trained their ai with OpenStreetMap data, you could take the position that every outcome of their blackbox is OpenStreetMap-derived, but AFAIK it is a gray area. Ciao

There seems to be a misunderstanding of the definition of "Derived". In order for something to be considered derived it needs to contain some elements from which it was derived. The end product described by facebook contains no OSM data, therefore it is literally the opposite of a derived
