"Commercial Use". The AI products are using data they don't have, in many cases, legal right to use as part of Fair Use and it's for an explicitly commercial purpose of AI training. But that's only under US Law. In Japan, you cannot use a company's brand logo without express permission, thus an AI's ability to recreate those logos will be an automatic copyright violation. There's a reason this is going to get litigated across all of the major countries and for years, and it's just getting started.I don't see how it is, by your description. If it's looking for an object to recreate, it still recreates it. Sounds like any number of songs or movies or art pieces that get away with being ripoffs. "Legally distinct," if you will.
If it's not a direct copyrighted sample, like you see used in music, I don't see how it runs afoul of copyright.
There's obviously a lot of gray areas, as this is brand new for what's happening, but it's not that dissimilar from tracing an art piece.
