Reply to comment by rdlenke in What do you think of all the recent very vocal detractors of AI generated art? by razorbeamz

I remember in like 3rd grade the teacher had us look at Van Gogh Paintings and then try and make our own with that similar style. Does that mean we plagiarized? Just now the AI could do it 100x better lol.

If you think about it, plagiarism is just using a source so well that derivated work becomes indistinguishable from the actual source. Your third grade self wouldn't really be able to do that.

Using a more realistic example, if you went to Nerd & Jock (or any artist) page on Instagram, learned their style perfectly (as AI can do), and started to create/sell comics with this style, people would probably still call it plagiarism, wouldn't they?

I imagine that this possibility is what most artists fear and why they say that every model is using "stolen art", even if they don't articulate it very well.

That would be trademark violation likely, not plagiarism.
