Human artists copy each other's style all the time and nobody ever cared about that. It's only when a computer does it that everyone gets pissed.

Human artists DO care about being copied. Trust me, some of them can get very (and very pointlessly) shirty about that, too.

Well okay, I shouldn't have said that nobody cares. But for the most part, the concept of "copying" each others styles is generally not considered an important or serious discourse within artistic communities. The vast majority of artists want to learn from and teach one another. The ones who aggressively try to go after people for copying them are typically regarded as assholes.
