Because the copyright holder has granted you the right to look at paintings and hasn't granted you the right to store them on your server to perform the mathematical transformations necessary to facilitate an adaptation-on-demand service.
Even if it was plausible to believe the mechanics of how human brains process art was particularly similar to a diffusion model or GAN, I don't see "but human brains are deterministic functions of their inputs too" as being a successful legal argument any time soon. You'd have to throw out rather more of the legal system than just copyright if those arguments start to prevail...

You just described how modern browser cache images. The diffusion model is revolutionary at scale, but doesn't mean it is doing anything drastically different than what is allowed right now, e.g. any AI based image beautifying/denoise filter, just the scale changes everything.
