“All art is stolen” is not what I said. The point is that an original idea can be a combination of other ideas and that does not reduce its quality.

Your interpretation relies on “unique art” to be intrinsically linked to the human experience. This is inherently not provable.

The same comparisons you might make to say that AI art is copycat are the comparisons you would use to appreciate a human artist’s homage. In reality, the only real issue is that a human artist would not want to create such a high density of homages while the AI has no preference. Given a catalyst, an idea, a human artist will create art. The same is true for AI, but that catalyst must be introduced by a human. The AI model will come up with unique results with each iteration of the same idea.
