Why does this argument apply to an Artificial Intelligence, but not a human one? A human is not breaking copyright just by being able recreate a copyrighted work they've studied.

It depends to what degree it's literal copying. See e.g. the Obama "Hope" poster. [1] Though that case is muddied by the fact that the artist lied about the source of his inspiration. Had it in fact been an older photo of JFK in a similar pose, there probably wouldn't have been a controversy.
