They are showing that the author of the tool has comitted massive copyright infringement in the process construction of the tool.

...unless they licensed all the copyright works they trained the model on. (Hint: they didn't, and we know they didn't because the copyright holders haven't licensed their work for that purpose. )

It doesn't matter if a company charges or not for anything. It's not a factor in copyright law.
