    Yeah, unless they lived in a cave with some pigments, everyone started by being inspired in some way.

      But nobody’s starts by downloading and pulling elements of all living and dead artists works without reference or license, it is not the same.

        I’m sure many artists would love having ultimate knowledge about all art relevant to their craft - it just hasn’t been feasible. Perhaps if art-generating AI could correctly cite their references it would be more acceptable for commercial use.
