This is an unacceptably lazy and reckless comment: your very first example blatantly plagiarized from Star Wars. You even called the bombs "BB-8 bombs" to make them look like the robot! It's just a dumb demo, but it means your product has no safeguards against copyright infringement, and you don't even care.

I suspect you might say "users of our technology assume full responsibility for copyright violations" or whatever, but what are your customers supposed to do if your product plagiarizes something more obscure than Star Wars? They can't be expected to check every generative AI output against every IP. You and your team need to take responsibility for the copyright problems your tool is guaranteed to create as currently implemented.

I really hate this "better to seek forgiveness" approach to copyright OpenAI has encouraged.
