Except doing all of that is perfectly legal. With music it’s called a remix or a cover. With stories it’s called fanfic.
If the AI is exactly replicating an artists works then that is copyright infringment without a doubt. But the AI isn’t doing that and it likely isn’t even capable of doing that.
But wouldn’t the person who made the remix/cover or fanfic have to pay if they made money off of their work? Don’t they need permission of the writer to sell that work? That is what I have always known, unless the original work is in the public domain. I’m not talking about someone creating an inspired work for their own private or not for sale use - in my example I was talking about a publishing company creating a work for sale.

No. Remixes are a fair use.
