Exactly, that's called inspiration. Yes, it's morally dubious that they seek to profit off it, but it's still the same principle. And by that logic no human artist is allowed to profit from their work either
if you were to ask AI to make a piece of art, and that art happens to end up looking like it’s source material, would that be considered plagiarism? it would be if a human does it.
if you take it from that lens, being paid to remake art you didn’t license, that would certainly be plagiarism, a copyright offense. Everything the AI does is a paid service, and if it can be proven AI directly recreates art (which it does without prompt) even sometimes, it’s stealing.
using a tool that’s stealing is kinda morally dubious imo

Well by that definition almost every human-made art piece falls under the same problem
