We Asked A.I. to Create the Joker. It Generated a Copyrighted Image.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
You make an interesting point, but I can't help but feel it's not completely the same and you're reaching a bit. I feel like it'd be closer if GIMP, next to shape tools for squares and circles, literally had a 'Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker' shape. The crux of the issue as I see it in this part of the legal debate is whether or not AI companies are willing participants in the creation of potentially copyright infringing media.
It reminds me a bit of the debate around social media platforms and if they're legally responsible for the illegal or inappropriate content people keep uploading.
