The artists in the suit each have very definitive styles, honed from years of work and training, and the algo can mimic, say, the specific style of an artist in the texturing of their armor, pose, lighting, exactly because it's been trained off that style. Then someone turns around and sells it. Now anyone who looks at that art assumes it's from the famous artist because it's just that close.

There's this famous case of Prince V. Cariou where a photographer took a photo and an artist modified the photo and was sued for copyright infringement but the judge ruled in favor of the artist as non-infringing.

This case told me that copyright law is very complicated and what the law considers fair is not really the same as what the average person would consider fair or moral.

I'm thinking about this case and I'm considering what the law actually says, and I thought to myself, maybe the entire photograph isn't actually protected by copyright and only certain elements of the photo is protected and Prince changed the most important creative elements of the photo so it can be considered an entirely new work.
