The person using the paintbrush, or the instrument, or photoshop, or AI, is the artist.

You're saying the AI has the copyright. So how did you get the permission from the AI to copy that picture? You asked - nicely? Something in the order of "hey AI, can I copy the picture you have the copyright of?"

I’m not sure how else I can write this. Maybe I’m mis-using commas?

The AI does NOT hold a copyright. That’s ridiculous. The person using the AI does. It’s just a tool like a piano or a paintbrush. A piano doesn’t own the copyright to any music. It can’t. It has no rights. It’s a piano.
