Majority new works is not a good enough standard. If any output is a direct reproduction of a copyrighted input that output is copyright infringement whether it was intended or not. If the trainer of the model doesn’t want to be sued for infringement they are responsible for a robust safety mechanism that prevents it. If that safety mechanism isn’t possible than don’t use copyrighted works if you have any possibility of directly reproducing them.

so by that standard, why isnt photoshop a copyright infringement? You can use it to create a copy just the same.

Photoshop isn’t a copyright infringement inherently but producing an infringed image with photoshop is still infringement. Much the same way AI is not inherently infringement but any production of infringing content by the AI is still infringement.
