This is completely illiterate; and unenforceable; and doesn't 
provide the guidance that clarifies anything.

If you want to say that the copyright system hasnt adapted to ai 
so its legally risky to use; you could just say that the 
copyright system hasn't adapted to the internet yet; of course it 
hasn't. For all I know if an ad shows you copyrighting material 
your theatrically liable.
