Can an art-supplies company be sued for enabling IP infringement? What's the legal distinction between a paintbrush and a genAI image tool? If a protected character's design includes a color gradient, is Photoshop liable for helping me create an effect beyond my artistic capabilities?

It's a Zoltar machine spitting out counterfeit images to people who wish to pretend to be artists.
If somebody then draws a picture exactly like that statement and sells it for money, Disney can crush them like a bug.
the hell kind of tool does the drawing for you
My point is not that genAI is okay. My point is that we have to be VERY CAREFUL about where and how we draw the line between assisting artists and replacing them. It's not an obvious boundary.
Here's an example of an actual tool I use, that makes my work much easier. It is a tool, because **I** can control it completely, not just begging the robot to generate me boilerplate code without errors. It creates the boilerplate code for me.
You can't do that.
