In a surprising move, Japan’s government recently reaffirmed that it will not enforce copyrights on data used in AI training. The policy allows AI to use any data “regardless of whether it is for non-profit or commercial purposes, whether it is an act other than reproduction, or whether it is content obtained from illegal sites or otherwise.”

      @noodlejetski My best guess is that you can TRAIN the AI for that, but if what you generate is clearly a trademark/copyright infringement, then you could still be prosecuted.
