It's entirely possible to steal IP, but the "AI art is theft" part of it is still legally up in the air.
I think what OP is referring to is the entirely reasonable legal argument that IP infringement is not actually "theft"

The idea being: "Theft" isn't about "you get something you don't own," it means "you deprive someone else of THEIR property."

There are all sorts of things that are legal and immoral or disagreeable so even if ai art theft is legalised it’s still theft if the author doesnt want it to be used that way. It seems like “ai” is quite reliant on ingesting and storing massive property data to emulate “intelligence” - and thats equal to people downloading and storing movies and music. A thing we are not permitted to by the same corporations that you wish to help.
Let me guess - you think ip and copyright are “rent seeking”? What a weird age we live in. Where people defend corporations from stealing our work. Quite a shift from the reverse.
