I haven't seen anyone making this argument. There's a pretty clear difference between learning something from an image and memorizing it.

There also isn't any illegal with memorizing an image and painting a reproduction. What you aren't allowed to do is sell or distribute that reproduction without a license.

I think it makes more sense to restrict what people are allowed do with ML tools than to restrict what ML tools can do.
