This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If I like a particular element of a piece of art, like the way they painted a distinctive piece of clothing in a portrait, and I copy that element in my own work, am I stealing their work?
Did you trace the linework, did you copy near exactly the colouration and composition, could you place one over the other and see it's very close to the origional? if so, yes. Yes you did. If you think to yourself, I like these specific elements of this art and am going to take them into account while creating a new piece, with new ideas, then no. You did not. AI art does the first. It doesn't know what makes up the art. It can't. It just knows if I take this data from the origional data set and place it in this manner when this term is present I have done well. It's just pattern recognition, no critical thought
