AI image generators are clearly not a market substitute for images, they are a tool that can be used to create market substitutes, but not themselves one.
Depends on what the product is. For example with openAI Dalle-2 the product is very clearly the generated image. You even pay per image. Also this is kind of what this article is about. Arbitrarily separating the pieces in order to evade copyright.
