No, all of the art in the magazine has been bought and paid for - from the artist by the producers of the magazine, from the producers of the magazine by a distributor, and from the distributor by you (or some other consumer from whom you acquired it). These AI take their art from artists collections in image hosting websites. If you were instead to use photoshop to stitch together bits of images you scoured DeviantArt for and pass that off as your own work, yes, I would consider that art theft.So if an artist takes a pile of magazines, cuts tiny pieces of images from each magazine to makes a collage, then sells the collage, is she being unethical? Seems to me that most people would say no.
