It is not an impossible situation, courts have settled it, and what you describe is not how the law works (despite how many computer engineers think to the contrary.)

Courts have settled almost nothing related to AI. We don't even know if training AI using copyrighted works is a violating of copyright law.

Please point to a case where someone was successfully sued for sounding too much like a celebrity (while not using the celebrity's name or claiming to be them).
