Even if that theory of operation were true, it seems like an implementation detail that would be largely irrelevant in a court of law. Infringement is infringement regardless of how complicated your method for committing it was. If your AI reproduces a copyrighted work verbatim without permission, surely you are committing infringement? If you would be infringing by doing it via copy and paste, I would think a court would be likely to find that you infringed when you used an AI to do it.
