Why not? If you feed the entirety of a given IP (say, every frame in every Star Wars film or show), you could train an AI to produce imagery derived exclusively from copyrighted material.

I think the final product and the ideas and concepts that it holds are the important aspect for copyright.
If I cut up a Star Wars poster into 1,000,000 tiny pieces, and then reassemble them into a self portrait with no reference whatsoever to Star Wars and sell it, would I have committed copyright infringement?
If I did the same thing but made a stormtrooper out of the pieces, is the copyright issue with the source material, or the final product?

You should if you plan on making money on it. I assume that Microsoft does.

You should have to actually pay for works that cost money, but authors don't have the right to nitpick and five tune the ways that their stuff is used so long as the uses aren't copying and redistributing their work.
Authors have tried to use excessive control of copyright many times and get shot down every single time with things like web scraping and search engines. Demanding payment for AI training specifically is a massive grift and overreach from a small group of people trying to hold back progress so they can make a quick buck.

It’s fun to see that the only way for AI tech bros to approach the copyright problem is to claim that it’s a Jewish conspiracy that shouldn’t exist.

I think you're projecting a little bit here.
