Fanfic can actually be a legal problem. It's usually not prosecuted, because it harms the brand to do so, but if a company was doing that professionally, they'd get into serious hot water.

Regarding your hypothetical scenario: If you train the AI with copyrighted works, so that you can make it reproduce HP8, then you are at fault.

If the tool was trained with HP books and you just ask really nicely to circumvent the protections, I would guess the tool (=> it's creators) would certainly be at fault (since it did train on copyrighted material and the protections were obviously not good enough), and at the latest when you reproduce the output, you too are.
