Can you explain to a court why it is “generating” the original from scratch from a prompt and not simply retrieving the input and printing it to screen? Just out of curiosity. I don’t think the owner of the copyright loses copyright simply because something else output a copy of his work. Maybe it is “generated” but the copyright holder still has his rights per copyright statutes and you would still be violating those rights by distributing your own copies from the AI output.
