Original artwork
rather than
Original art
?
Yes, that would be better.

It is a machine-generated picture. No artist, no artistic talent required.
Thank you for explaining.

Indeed. It was JAmedia and Ali who used the word "stolen".
Yet neither has stated what, exactly, precisely, they are claiming has been stolen.

It is a machine-generated picture. No artist, no artistic talent required. That's my opinion, to which I am entitled, and it is different to yours.
I am not going to be drawn on this any further: you must accept that my opinion differs to yours and I don't need to prove anything to you in order to validate my opinion any more than you need to validate yours for me.
My opinion: this is not a work of art.

As I see it, the issue is whether the piece (however derivative it may be) deserves to be called ‘art’. Everything ever written uses letters and words which — with the exception of neologisms — have been used before, but they’re put together in different ways. Likewise, everything ever painted uses materials that a true artist could use, but imitating the style of, say, Monet or Manet or Picasso or Pissarro doesn’t put the work on a par with that of the masters.
