3. Just a question about this concept

Using this logic, isn't every person on the planet learning from "stolen work"?

Maybe an art school student gets really into a specific style and studies works by artists of the period... emulates their use of brushstrokes and shading... angles and light...

Just because LLM can study 1 thousand pieces of art in the time a human can glance at a piece of work, is there a difference?

Couldn't one make the argument that AI is the great tool of democratization? Instead of hiring a mechanic to fix you brakes, follow AI prompts... or paying someone to remove the ex-girlfriend from the family portrait... or putting a piece of art in the den?

Example:

Gemini create a piece of art reminiscent of the Dutch Masters
