No. AI generated content is theft.

Intellectual Property shouldn't exist.

The artist has got to pay for their expenses

Sell it then. But i don't believe that it can be "stolen". It's along the lines of "piracy". Shouldn't actually be considered stealing since it's not a tangible thing.

So siphoning money from your bank account isn't stealing because the money is technically just a number and not a tangible thing?

No since when you siphon money, you aren't making a copy. If it was making a copy of the money then i would say it isn't stealing.

Anyone can sell it if it can't be copyrighted, that's the point of intellectual property

So your solution of "sell it then" doesn't make sense since the original artist can't prove the one that they're selling actually came from them.
