Well Disney would probably sue Blender if there was a "generate Mickey Mouse model" button in it. It's not a totally fair comparison.



I'm sure it's easy to write an addon for that.


Try it and see if it is blender or you as the addon creator that gets sued.


Then the author of that addon would be liable. Not blender.


These AI models are closer to Google in that regard, yes, you can instruct them to generate a Mickey Mouse image, but you can instruct them to generate any kind of image, just like you can search for anything on Google, including Mickey Mouse. When using these models you are essentially performing a search in the model weights.


Google Image results have a note that says: “Images may be subject to copyright”.


But you can already make mickey mouse models, and people do it all the time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqVXoGCTfuk&ab_channel=Ashle...
