The output of an ML model isn't clearly unencumbered by IP rights. There's already prompts to DALL-E that clearly output a copy of a Wikipedia image it's memorized, and the publicly available smaller models have lots of prompts that output images covered in literal Shutterstock watermarks.

This isn't real AI and it didn't come up with these images by imagining them. It's a blob of every image on Google Image Search stuck together in a way that's managed to differentiate between them (in the calculus sense).
