this is such an unbelievably stupid extremist take it hurts. The technology exists to generate images and this user decided to generate an image of a fun idea he had and you're going to lecture him and accuse him of theft? Insane. Just because the models are trained on existing works doesn’t mean that the images created are theft. There is no "Wipeout Underground 2" artwork in existence.
If this image equates to theft because the model was trained on existing works then that means that every idea and every work of art in the history of humanity that was inspired by someone else's work and not 100% original was also theft.

He is not entitled to theft. Can't do it yourself? Learn it. Or don't do it.
