If I enter 'Mickey Mouse' into an ML-TTI thing like Craiyon (Dall E mini) do you think I will be able to sell the resulting image on a Tshirt?

No, I won't, because Disney has fancy lawyers, the average open source developer hasn't. What you are saying is: Screw little people, let M$ make their money.

Either copyright is for everyone, or for no one. I prefer the latter, but this is not the world we live in.

There big difference is that by copying Micky Mouse you are hurting one of the most known and very powerful corporations in the world, by copying code you are just hurting open source projects and individual developers.

It should not be different, or if anything, it should be worse to punish people with less resources. But here we are.

Isnt this an indictment of the justice system rather than the big firms.

I once heard this quote, "English justice is open to all, in the same way that The Ritz [very expensive hotel] is open to all."

This is more like entering "cartoon mouse nose" into Craiyon though. You're getting incohesive code snippets returned to you based off a single line (appropriate word for code and a drawing).
