Artists do credit their teachers (Verrocchio in the case of da Vinci), schools, sources of inspiration and influences, so I'm confused by this comment.

What kind of acknowledgement did you have in mind?

Yeah, some of these comments are clearly made by people who don't actually know the history of art.

I'm not even sure the commenter knew who "the artist that painted Mona Lisa" was when they made that comment.

What kind of acknowledgement should AI be giving?

if the producers of these models weren't incentivized to hide their training data it would be almost trivial to at least retrieve the images most similar to the content produced

some images will be maximally distant from training examples but midjourney repainting frames from "harry potter" could very easily automatically send a check to jk rowling per generation

these AI start ups are just trying to have a free lunch in a very mature industry
