As usual, AI has no agency. I believe we should view AI as simply an extension of our own agency. Thus, if you prompt an AI to generate copyrighted work, that's fine. Viewing it yourself is like imagination. However, just as you can draw mickey mouse for your own fun all you want, you cannot sell such images.
