In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges. OpenAI rival Stability AI, for example, is currently being sued by stock image maker Getty Images for using its copyrighted data to train its AI image generator.

Aaaaaand there it is. They don’t want to admit how much copyrighted materials they’ve been using.

FWIW that's pretty much exactly how all creative works are created. Especially music.

Except that nobody has a superhuman ability to create endless amounts of content almost instantly based on said work.

People throw this "artists/writers use inspiration to create X" argument all the time and it just totally ignores the fact that we're not talking about some person spending 10s/100s/1000s of hours of their time to copy someone's working style.

It's a piece of software churning it out in seconds.

Do generative AI models typically focus on ONE person's style? Don't they mix together influences from thousands of artists?

FWIW this is not an area I read up on, and so I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other.

For the image generating ones like Midjourney you could ask for an artist's style by putting their name in the prompt.
It probably works the same in OpenAI.
