Maybe, but they probably won't right? Like, if you had to bet money on if anyone is going to sue these guys over the next couple years, which side would you bet on?
I'd bet on "No". The reality is that these people probably made some X0,000 dollars on this, and nobody is going to bother to pay lawyers a bunch of money to go after something, that only kinda sorta looks like infringement to machine learning experts who are squinting really hard, all in order to claim their 1/3millionth percentage claim on it.
I don't see anybody wasting their time and money to go after a machine learning waifu vending machine that is hosted at a couple anime conventions.
