"purchased" haha, you are comparing things someone created and someone else paid for, to things stolen and plagiarized without the knowledge of their creators.
A student artist copying and referencing to learn is in no way comparable to industrially scraping a dataset. Why not let students turn in papers written by AI then?
"people who can't draw or paint in the old fashioned way", cool, that sounds like a great person to replace an artist with, (great because cheaper), after stealing from artists who earned talent to make the stolen art that's "generating" a cheaper replacement.
