You mean like humans steal media of everything they observe in life, automatically assimilating and adapting their processing (thinking)? Training models is not the problem. Mimicing or reproducing through algorithms of human creative work and then passing that off as human created work (which implies time cost, as most humans take significant time to develop skills which allow them to create things) is the real problem. Already we have "content" on Youtube which is entirely or almost entirely AI generated. Like processed foods, it tends to be hollow and non-nourising to the consumer, but it competes for shelf space with potentially better content. As we capitalistically race to the bottom, the cheap AI-created stuff will be so pervasive that real offerings which cost real money (time) to make will have no space to compete. Consumers will be left with the cheapest garbage which resembles something real. This is what you find in many stores for physical products, and the TV series-ication of video content. Formulas which maximize profit squeezing out real things. This is how the AI models will increasingly be used, and there's basically no stopping it. I would say that using "indie" services where things are hand/human-made would be an alternative, but Etsy has proven that that approach eventually devolves to the profit-garbage approach.
