Soo plagiarism essentially?
Always has been. Just yesterday I was explaining AI image generation to a coworker. I said the program looks at a ton of images and uses that info to blend them together. Like it knows what a soviet propaganda poster looks like, and it knows what artwork of Santa looks like so it can make a Santa themed propaganda poster.
Same with text I assume. It knows the Mario wiki and fanfics, and it knows a bunch of books about zombies so it blends it to make a gritty story about Mario fending off zombies. But yeah it's all other works just melded together.
My question is would a human author be any different? We absorb ideas and stories we read and hear and blend them into new or reimagined ideas. AI just knows it's original sources
"Blending together" isn't accurate, since it implies that the original images are used in the process of creating the output. The AI doesn't have access to the original data (if it wasn't erroneously repeated many times in the training dataset).
Humans don't remember the exact source material, it gets abstracted into concepts before being saved as an engram. This is how we're able to create new works of art while AI is only able to do photoshop on its training data. Humans will forget the text but remember the soul, AI only has access to the exact work and cannot replicate the soul of a work (at least with its current implementation, if these systems were made to be anything more than glorified IP theft we could see systems that could actually do art like humans, but we don't live in that world)
