I think the concept of AI as a tool is cool, as long as it is recognized as AI I think people make the assumption that it's a product of multiple different pieces by multiple different artists so I don't necessarily see AI as dishonest or stealing to those who understand how it works. I will always credit the parts of my work that aren't 100% original, although I admittedly don't know the origin of this pattern. Possibly an unknown Babushka who has long passed away. I think using other peoples art to create more art is subjective, if somebody mashes several pieces of art together, is it their piece? It's their compilation/composition but the credit leans 99% on the original creators. If an artist made a more unique composition that includes another artist's work in a minor way, as long as credit is given where necessary I can appreciate all creators' contributions and the piece as a whole. To me there are grey areas, but I advocate always to allot credit where and when it is due. This is my individual view and I expect that other people may see it differently, and that's okay. As long as nobody is benefiting by taking somebody else's credit then no harm no foul I think.
