I don't know that the metaphor works out in your favor here... if you were to catch an art theif you might send them to prison. If you have automated the process of producing art theives, that seems like a problem you have caused. You HAVE replaced the talented artists, because you didn't need to consult the original artists. How does this benefit society? Even in the case the artist themselves uses the generator, is the artist better off for no longer needing to create art? It's not like there is an economic advantage, and so there isn't as much incentive to create even original art anymore, someone can just immediately mimic it. People mimicked art in past, but at least for the artist there was the value of honing their own skill, and remixing or enhancing it, maybe tools like this have the potential to destroy creativity itself.
