@CommunistThelemite you could use exact same argument to claim that artists who learn a particular style are stealing art as well. Everything is derivative to some degree or another.
Meanwhile, I do photography, and it does take skill. However, I don't think that mechanical skill has anything to do with whether something has artistic merit or not.
Creativity in photography comes from the ability to recognize a scene that looks interesting.
@yogthos @CommunistThelemite I like photography despite having eyes which refuse to work more often than not.
The camera sees better than I do, and I often select a photo out of dozens, then crop it to get just the right framing (which I didn't see initially even though it was there all along).
Could AI replace this process? The current one would process all these photos and come up with some images not worth looking at.
The issue as I see it is the hype around "AI" and the false information.
