The photos of the painting on the internet aren’t original works either. This system is learning from everyone taking pictures. If you paid a very good artist to paint that painting, they’d work from a picture. No artist emerges fully formed without impact of what they’ve seen.
There’s a difference between an artist and a machine (for now), but it’s not unreasonable to assume that some internalisation of others’ work is fair.
