If we could copyright every stroke in our paintings or every line in our artwork, nobody would be able to make anything new. Humans copy painting techniques, photography tricks, shot setups (angles, margins, etc) and make new pieces all the time that advance the world of art.

Ah. So when challenged with facts, we defer to the good reliable ol slippery slope and exaggeration.

>humans copy techniques

And as I already addressed, when humans are creating, there is real intent. When an ai does it, it’s a copy and paste with no intent.

The intent is whatever the human puts into the prompt. If a human downloads an image, copies and pastes a solid black line thousands of times to make a mediocre drawing, is that not just copy and paste?

What is your actual intention here? Where does the "intent" in humans come from that AI doesn't, even when commanded by a human to perform something?

Where it comes from is that AI cannot create beyond its training scope.

If you ask an AI to train itself from its own images, it’ll always actually become worse using its own evaluation.

If you ask a human to train themselves, the human will notable become better of their evaluation.

AIs are fundamentally limited to their training set. Humans are not.

The fact that you can tell an AI to draw a specific thing, and it’ll steal content from other people doesn’t result in the AI having uniquely created an image. It has searched and blended strings together. That’s it.
