Inspiration isn’t the same. It’s more like if I found a bunch of pictures I liked, then traced my favorite parts from each one onto a single piece of paper to make one image made up of lots of small copied pieces of other people’s work.
That’s not how AI works. For example, just a while ago I was generating one image for fun (which I don’t claim is art, by the way), it’s this:
The prompt was quite simple, “anthropomorphic bean standing in a field of beans”.
This is not created from a bunch of pictures, this is created from the AI understanding what a bean is, what anthropomorphic means, what a field is and so on. Try to find me any one image this is created from if you claim it’s just slapping together parts of images. This is an original image (which presumably was never done before, at least I don’t think anyone would create something like that very often), I can’t find any that looks enough like the one I created to claim it was copied from that. I looked for visually similar images using Google, Bing and Yandex.
That leads me to believe, that it’s indeed the same process as a human would do - take an inspiration (from real world or different paintings) and create something new.
What people make is not original as well, you’re always inspired by something.
