No, but it's far more likely that fair use applies to something that is more _useful_ than _creative_, ie: maps and dictionaries.

Regardless of how much effort a copyrighted work to produce, most Western countries have a fair-use equivalent to transformative use of a work: https://lawdit.co.uk/readingroom/intellectual-property-law-g....

Odd that this site is a “.co.uk” but talks about the US fair use doctrine. The UK does indeed have “fair use” (actually called fair dealing) but this wouldn’t come under it as far as I can tell (IANAL, etc.)

The copyright exceptions in the UK are very limited. There would not be a copyright exception in this situation.
