  Very interesting, if that’s true then art theft would be difficult to prove in these cases. May I ask where you found this is to be true by providing a source?
context: It's simpler than that. Mixing an image with data from hundreds of thousands of others is sufficient alteration to get around any sane copyright law, and the provision of a text prompt and refinement of the image through onboard tools and image editing software qualifies as a form of authorship.
