The answer depends on a number of factors, such as if the artist is still living (or their work is still under copyright protection), and how well-known they are.
A good example is Vincent Van Gogh. All the best AI art generators on our list can copy Van Gogh’s style. Van Gogh died over 100 years ago, and his work is no longer under copyright (protection typically lasts 70 years after an artist’s death). His style is also so well known that even people uninterested in art can spot his style immediately. Therefore, if you have AI create a picture of your cat in the style of Van Gogh, you are legally and morally in the right. Everyone who sees it will know it is an homage to Van Gogh, and no one is losing out financially.
However, lesser-known living artists are greatly affected. Fans could steal their style and pass it off as their own. They could create counterfeit artworks, driving down the cost of the originals. They can also create art that looks similar to the artists but at a lesser quality, tarnishing the artist’s brand.
Everyone learns by copying someone else. But there are best practices to follow. In the end, always make sure you credit the original source.
