This is a gross misunderstanding of "copyright?" The model doesn't need to "contain" the images anymore than a Harry Potter knockoff needs to "contain" huge chunks of text from the originals.

If names are different, character and plot details differ, etc., a book about students at a school for wizards battling great evil may be a not particularly imaginative rip-off and may even invite litigation if it's too close, but I'm guessing it wouldn't win in court. See also The Sword of Shannara and Tolkien. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Shannara https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Shannara Creators mimic styles and elements of others' works all the time. Unless an ML algorithm crosses some literal copying threshold, I fail to see it as doing anything substantially different from what people routinely do.
