As for AI as far as I know many people private works have been collated, mixed, blended to the detriment of many actual artist, there I do have a problem, when AI pictures are used that the true source is not something anyone will be able to determine.
This is not true, there is no mixing, blending or collaging going on with diffusion models. The art is created from noise, by what the AI learned from those arts that it has trained on. It is not that different from an artist learning to draw in someone else's style. It is just on a much bigger scale.
Opening oneself up to a world we don't fully understand, cannot control, I would err to caution https://www.v7labs.com/blog/ai-generated-art
