People saying he didnt make this. Ai is a tool like any other. If someone makes something in say Maya, would you say its not their own work because they didnt make the program? No, you wouldnt.

And even if you still apply that logic, its pretty obvious which parts of this piece are non ai generated. If the whole piece was ai generated sure maybe, but this is not that.

I find the people who get pissed off at ai art are typically not artists.

Edit: while ai does use the work of other artists to learn, i feel we can say the same about people who look at the art of others to improve their own. And just like a person it can make derivative/copycat work. Its like getting angry at a kid on deviant for tracing their favourite character from my little pony.

This is more my opinion then anything else, but people need to get the idea of "ownership" or "ip" out of their heads, no one owns ideas, be it for art or otherwise. But thats more a critique of capitalism than anything else.
