Yeah, I think this is the crux of the issue that people keep glossing over when claiming it's not a true reproduction. Drawing Coca Cola's logo from memory by hand and slapping it on your product is still copyright infringement, even if it isn't an image Coca Cola has ever produced. In that sense it doesn't matter at all if it's AI or human - the production and subsequent distribution for profit of a copyrighted thing is not allowed, period. The current set of AIs do exactly this all the time. That's a very clear legal problem.
