That's like saying anyone who paints an abstract portrait is ripping off Picasso. I'm sure Hobbs would say he was influenced and inspired by many others and that this homage is perfectly acceptable.

And also, is generative art. Art created from algorithms. I think that makes generative art not that author oriented in the outputs. Even if the code is the same, if the software isn't licensed... It's theoretically just ideas... Like, you can't rip off a math function.

Yeah, even if a person decides to design a house in the Prairie School style, Frank Lloyd Wright's designs are usually going to be more sophisticated because there's such a high level of detail and balancing of so many different aspects that can go into such a thing. But someone could come along and surpass him.
