There's a number of people in this thread who have recognized the art style of specific artist. How do you think they'd do it if it wasn't possible to copy it?I still don't see how you can steal someone's "style".
The AI doesn't just emulate other people's work. It literally uses the original bits made by people it has digested/converted for its use. Without them on hand, it wouldn't be able to produce anything.
And yes, people steal other stuff to make their games, too. It's lazy as fuck, and hardly a justification for even more theft. But don't worry, AI art will eventually become normalized too. In the meantime just ignore the complaints, if they bother you?
