Tough question is, can a tool be infringing anything?

Although I'd see a legal case if AI companies were to bill picture by picture, but now they are just billing for a tool subscription.

Still, would Microsoft be liable for my copy-pastes if they charged a penny every time I use it, or am I, if I sell a art piece that uses that infringing image?

AI could be scraping that picture from anywhere.

They are showing that the author of the tool has comitted massive copyright infringement in the process construction of the tool.

...unless they licensed all the copyright works they trained the model on. (Hint: they didn't, and we know they didn't because the copyright holders haven't licensed their work for that purpose. )

It doesn't matter if a company charges or not for anything. It's not a factor in copyright law.

Who created this image in your view then, who is liable?
