If so, I think that sets an interesting precedent that could be referenced in copyright claims over AI generated art... For instance, if a Midjourney user generating an image of Mickey Mouse meant Disney could sue Midjourney directly...

Japan was (to my knowledge) the first country to officially rule on AI generated images with regards to copyright... They deemed it fair game to use copyrighted material in training, but subject to copyright infringement if the AI generates something too close to copyrighted material. It'll be interesting to see where other countries weigh in on this issue.

Theoretically, someone has to be considered responsible for what an AI does. Especially now that we're seeing businesses start using AI for things like talking to customers... If they had full immunity against lawsuits for things their AI says, that'd set a really bad precedent; we'll just have to see where the line gets drawn.
