Wait... isn't that the correct response though? I mean if i ask an ai to produce something copyright infringing it should, for example reproducing Harry potter. The issue is when is asked to produce something new, (e.g. a story about wizards living secretly in the modern world) does it infringe on copyright without telling you? This is certainly a harder question to answer.

I think they're seeing this as a traditional copyright infringement issue, i.e. they don't want anyone to be able to make copies of their work intentionally either.
