I don't know, people training themselves by trying to emulate well known or successful artists and styles has long been a thing if my memory of Deviant Art 20 years ago is accurate. And most every comic con I've attended is overrun with examples of the same kind of thing even now. Or tattoo artists giving people tattoos of movies characters and scenes. Or the multiple times in school that an art assignment involved more or less copying or reinterpretation of an existing work. That said, with humans it's not like anyone tries to prevent us from having the capability, it's just that usually people know better. Otherwise going to art galleries would be problematic.

Which violates copyright. > Or the multiple times in school that an art assignment involved more or less copying or reinterpretation of an existing work. Also violates copyright, but is probably covered by a fair use defense due to the scholarship aspect of the work.
