I have a serious if not possibly ignorant question here, but shouldn't experimenting on human behavior without consent be just as illegal as any other human experimentation and shouldn't that be extended to imitating art or language?

Certainly ignorant, since you mentioned it. Read the synopsis. Then, read the paper. Then evaluate based on merits, not some (frankly unrelated) prior agenda about copyright infringement.

The title doesn't even really imply what you're suggesting. Quite a reach. At risk of breaking the rules, RTFM.

Curious, based on the research referenced, where do you are non-consensual methods of research utilized?

Why should it be illegal?

Imitating someone is not experimenting on them.
