Question/Advice A thought I had about photobashing and AI. I would like to create a discussion!

Basically, since it was discovered that in some databases used to train artificial intelligences there are images of artists inserted without their permission, there has been a lot of criticism regarding the use of AI.

At this point I would like to ask you, what do you think about photobashing? This is a digital illustration technique that has been used for years and that uses the same mechanical logic of the creation of images by artificial intelligence, but cared for through the meticulous hand of artists.

Unfortunately, just like artificial intelligence, the artist in question also tends not to have permission to use certain images from the original authors as in certain cases.

Why do you think this process does not have the same resonance in artists as the use of artificial intelligence?
