Tbf, something in a store has to be available before you can steal it, if it is sold out or not yet released it'll be harder.
And really in this context "theft" is like "piracy is theft," as much as I also don't like AI, nobody else was deprived of the banner simply because db0 generated it. Piracy isn't theft (and the owner of the Pirate instance isn't likely to be persuaded by that argument at least, even if you disagree..)
And tbf, "well it was trained on actual artist's work" and so was almost every artist in history, that's kind of how it works to a degree. The greats separate themselves but a lot of human created art is derivative.
I mean there's plenty to get mad at AI for, personally I'm not a fan of how people are using it as a brain replacement, how it enables further the ubiquitous spying, how people want it to replace humanity, oh and y'know literal actual murder robots in the form of autonomous loitering drones is probably a bad idea, and coming soon to a town near you. But that said "theft" isn't super high up on my list, personally.
Though this could arguably fit under brain replacement, but more accurately I'd say it was "talent replacement" which is a little more defendable imo, like everyone should be able to think for the most part, not everyone can draw well. Does it affect how much I can appreciate the art in question? Absolutely. But it's not necessarily dumbing db0 down just because he can't draw for shit.
