Ok, so I can create a website, say, the-ai-pirate-bay.com, where I stream AI-reproduced movies. They are not verbatim, so I don't infringe any copyrights.

They will infringe copyright as soon as they are sufficiently similar to the original. You can’t shoot a non-verbatim but clearly recognizable beat-by-beat remake of Star Wars, call it Galaxy Conflict, and get away with monetizing it.

Correct.

You have to call it "Starcrash" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079946/?ref_=ls_t_8). Then it's legal.

Interesting artifact, but the very first/top IMDB user review convincingly contradicts that this is a Star Wars remake. ;)
