Yes, this would be a good example of genuine copyright infringement that shouldn't be tolerated.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all or even most DALL-E output infringes on someone's copyright. The same is true for Copilot. I think both have many legitimate uses if and when the "copyright laundering" issue is solved.
