What would you say to someone who responds that AI art only exists because of training data stolen from unpaid artists?

That it's an emotional reaction to someone using easily available material to train a program rather than themselves.
I always saw it as a technological consequence of allowing people to view their work; training a model is no different to an individual looking at it.
You have failed to understand that the value of the service is fundamentally different, providing open source software costs a human effort.
Providing art no longer requires the same amount of human effort, if AI is acceptable, so it's not at all comparable.
