Compare such text to a photo of a painting changed by some automatic algorithm. The copyright of the painting is unchanged and the algorithm gets no part of any new copyright, yet the person applying the tool _can_ have a part in the copyright for the new derived work.
If you translate a work through the use of some tool, the tool gets no part of the copyright, the person may get a part of the copyright for the derived work but then he must do something in addition to running the tool, unless the tool is so extremely difficult to use that running it is sufficient.
