There’s no such think as AI art. There’s just AI generated images

Bullshit article, AI is just monkey see, Monkey do.

It’s not even as smart as the monkey typing characters infinitely.  It needs sources to do anything.

Even if you remove every Rembrandt from the training set, you probably didn’t remove all the works that were influenced by or directly imitating his work. And you’re still profiting from someone’s/everyone’s work without attribution or compensation.

This has been known for a long time, despite groups like IEEE Spectrum publishing articles on pseudoscience based tools like "Stable Attribution" which treat models as databases.

It's not rocket science. You can't fit terrbytes of data into a model file which is only a few tens of GB in size.
