look, quickest example if it IS or it IS NOT ip theft is - go to any image generation ML wizardry prompt machine and ask it this :

"generate image of jack ryan investigating nuclear bomb. he has to look like morgan freeman."

(and do it quickly before someone in FAANGM manually plays with something altering result of that prompt)

problem is opposite, is "original" work IP a original in itself or is it just remix

or someone just gave lawyer some generic text and make it arbitrarily protected for adding 0.000000001% to previous work.
