How do you show a computer something? Do you perhaps add pictures to a database that the program then processes? I understand it's not a folder called SpongeBob but at some point somebody fed it pictures of SpongeBob and now those picture exists in a database.
The reason the legal system is slow is because it's complicated and everyone turns into philosophy majors when discussing thing like what a database is but are somehow used words like "show" without any explanation.
The reason investors are comfortable pouring billions into AI is because investors either think they are going to make the money back before regulation catches up or they are just coked up maniacs investing anything that sounds shiny.
Saving pictures of spongebob in a file system to use as drawing reference also doesn't equal copyright infringement.
