Then the generative tools should just give the sources of the inspiration of the AI and make them aware of what they are using, instead of saying "nope, not my problem".

If they decide to use other ways of checking for IP infringement, they will. If they choose to ignore the issue, IP owners will bring up violations, like the NYT did.
“Buyer beware” has been a motto since ancient times.
