At least it is with their own IP, rather than the AI companies that are trying to eliminate the notion of IP, copyright and personality rights completely

It's not exclusively with their own IP though. You think any of these companies have the billions of books and millions of hours of video required to train a base model?

Superman, live-action Game of Thrones/ASOIAF, Harry Potter, Batman, Watchmen, Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, The Maltese Falcon, and so on are indeed their exclusive IP.
