It doesn't give you new information.

If I write the sentence "Hello, I just got home" and use an algorithm to jumble it into "got Hello, just I home" there's nothing new there.

There's no transformation, it's not capable of transformation, it's just a very complicated text jumbler that's supposed to jumble text so that the output is readable by humans.

That's a very short example, but it is a new arrangement of the existing information. It's not a new valuable arrangement of information, but new nonetheless. And yes, rearrangement is transformation. It's very low entropy transformation, but transformation nonetheless. Collages and summaries are in fact, a thing that humans make too.

Unless you mean "new" as in, something nobody's ever written before, in which case not even you can create new information, since pretty much everything you will ever say or write down can be broken down into pieces that have been spoken or written before, which is not exactly a useful distinction.

There’s no transformation, it’s not capable of transformation, it’s just a very complicated text jumbler that’s supposed to jumble text so that the output is readable by humans.

Saying it doesn't make it true, especially when you follow it up with a self-debunk by saying it transforms the text by jumbling it in specific ways that keep it readable to humans, which requires transformation as like you just demonstrated, randomly swapping words does not make legible text..
