Sounds like fair use to me.

That really will be the question at hand. Is the ai producing work that could be considered transformative, educational, or parody? The answer is of course yes, it is capable of doing all three of those things, but it's also capable of being coaxed into reproducing things exactly.

I don't know if current copyright laws are capable of dealing with the ai Renaissance.
