Think of AI tools like any other tools. If I include code I'm not allowed to use, like reading a book I pirated, that's copyright infringement. If I include an image as an example in my image editor, that's ok if I am allowed to copy it.
If someone decides to use my image editor to create an image that's copyrighted or trademarked, that's not the fault of the software. Even if my software says "hey look, here are some cool logos that you might want to draw inspiration from".
People are getting too hung up on the AI part. That's irrelevant.
This is just software. You need a license for the inputs and if the output is copyrighted that's on the user of the software. It's a significant risk of just using these models carelessly.
