And no, legality is not optionalAs some other people mentioned, AI refuses to enhance private photos if they HAPPEN TO contain Disney material etc. So clearly they don't want to step on the toes of tyrants who can hit back at a whim.
BUT if my own, personal, private photo happens to contain an t-shirt or toy or whatever of Mickey Mouse somewhere in a TINY corner of the photo, does that count as copyright infringement??
What if I'm asking AI to work on a photo of some sidewalk café that includes a person in the background reading a newspaper, with its comics section visible which exposes the signatures of several artists?
No one anywhere would say that's intentional plagiarism.
Intent matters in legality - even for suebros.
