There's a whole lot of unapologetic artistic theft of others’ work that has contributed to the creation of new art.

[etrautmann]

why do we even call it theft or pretend that any artist arrived at ideas without inspiration?

[someweirdperson]

For humans the inspiration can be something else than the medium to use. Watching reality can provide inspiration for creating a video. And I'm pretty sure that's wher most inspiration comes from. It cannot for AI. Of course in a world where everything exists AI doesn't need inspiration from other sources.

It can for AI, it is consuming and mixing in training trail cam images, etc. that weren't composed shots.

That's not at all what the other poster was saying.

Then what was it saying? It said that humans can take inspiration from outside art, from the real world. You can do the same thing with AI by training it on pictures from the real world.

Bill Clinton has stated he was inspired to be president after a trip to the white house in his youth.

People have been inspired to write about subject matter because of their experiences.

AI takes lots of things that currently exist and mixNmatch.

It's not nearly the same thing.

That could describe the entirety of art history.
