        And that means humans don’t learn art the same way a machine trains on data. Even if they learn from other artists, a human’s artistic output is novel and original.

          How exactly is a generated image not novel? You’re not going to get the same image twice with the same prompt. Everything it generates will be original. It’s not like they’re just providing you with an existing image.

          And still the argument I’m hearing is that it’s fine for humans to use artistic works without consent or credit just because it’s a human doing it.

          Just because the underlying processes are different doesn’t mean the two are functionally different.

          I also think it’s funny because I’m betting the Venn diagram of people who think AI using publicly available artwork to train on is bad and people who think piracy is good is almost a single circle.
