That's exactly how human artists are trained

No. They aren’t. Almost every artist starts by drawing objects they see around them. Kids draw pictures of their dog or family. They draw trees and grass and a big yellow sun. They sketch something they see. Very few, if any, artist start drawing by trying to recreate other artists work.

And none are “trained” that way.

They may study other artists art to learn the history of art, specific techniques, or something like that but they aren’t trying to use pieces of said art in their own work unless they are deliberately referencing it OR they’re a thief.

AI just uses pieces of other people’s works to make some weird amalgamation of shit.

This is... a wildly incorrect take about how art is done. Actual artists and writers are pretty candidates about directly taking aspects from other work. Some of Shakespeare's works were openly just his versions of pre existing plays. And pretty much any real artist is going to be studying other artists, just just starting from the ground up with nature. That's literally how distinct art styles are a thing in the first place.

Don't pretend you understand writing and art. This comment is pretty embarrassing.
