    But an artist cannot be inspired without content from other artists. I don’t agree to the word “copied” here either, because it is not copying when it creates something new.

      Yeah, unless they lived in a cave with some pigments, everyone started by being inspired in some way.

        But nobody’s starts by downloading and pulling elements of all living and dead artists works without reference or license, it is not the same.

          I’m sure many artists would love having ultimate knowledge about all art relevant to their craft - it just hasn’t been feasible. Perhaps if art-generating AI could correctly cite their references it would be more acceptable for commercial use.
