Also people arguing that the words “theft” and “stolen” can’t apply here. This to me is a clear case of technology coming faster than we can make up a new word or phrase for what’s happening because it’s unprecedented. Technically it’s correct in the context of the literal meaning of stealing. But we also don’t have examples that quite apply here.

Artists have been “copying” each other to learn for generations, yes, but to make a perfect replica of someone’s exact art style to a point where it’s indistinguishable from an original is rare (traditionally) and heavily frowned upon in the modern scope.

So what do we do?
