This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
no. I was saying selling an AI model or access to it that is capable of producing that work is not, itself, copyright infringement.
in fact, do you know what a clean room is? if I provided to a writing team every English language work except those written by JK Rowling and it produced a work exactly like you're describing, The resultant work would not be infringing copyright. it should not be any different for AI where you cannot prove what materials it was provided.
Copyright doesn't care if the writer is unaware of the source material because intent doesn't matter.
intent does matter for fair use claims, and knowledge matters for bare infringement.
