But it's not like that. Examples of clearly infringing prompts in TFA were as vague as "animated plumber". Asking your session musician for something "melancholy" and having them pass off Stairway to Heaven as original would be unreasonable.

I don’t know any other animated plumbers than Mario. So when you say animated plumber, I immediately see Mario in my head.

If you ask a human to draw "videogame plumber" they will correctly infer that you mean Mario and draw that. The model isn't doing anything deliberately evil. It's doing exactly what it has been asked. The problem is people are expecting it to have detailed knowledge of trademark law and avoid infringing trademarks, which it hasn't been even asked to do.

IMO that's why there will be but few effective legal restrictions placed on AI. Once you can reliably ask AIs to draft you terms of service in all applicable jurisdictions and languages, ask it to consult you on how to incorporate in country X or ask it to draft a contract between your and another company based on the negotiation results, lawyers will end up in a huge existential crisis. Especially because currently, as long as lawyers just barely meet their legal deadlines, it is basically impossible to hold them accountable for however badly they screw you over. A decent AI model could turn out to be a much safer bet than whatever lawyers are available on the jobmarket.

  I cannot find any other video game plumbers except Mario, Luigi, Waluigi, and Wario. Well, I say that but there is John, a plumber, in the adult romantic comedy game Plumbers Don't Wear Ties [0].

Game plumber, not animated plumber. There is only one game plumber of note. It's literally exactly as descriptive as just saying Nintendo's Mario.

It’s not infringing just by existing, you would need to then go try to use it commercially for infringement to occur. Arguably, the LLM generating the image isn’t infringement, you using it would be.
