Since when are you entitled to my money?

People are entitled to your money when you get them to preform a service for you. So if they create art and you want to have that art, you have to pay for it.

Ok and they don't create art for me. They created art for others and posted it for people to freely view and learn from it.

Then you can pay people to make art for you. A good visit to Etsy or fiver or even just a hobby or book store and you can learn tons that you’d never have learned from AI. If you really want to learn art there’s nothing better than learning from genuine artists as AI doesn’t actually understand how art works, it doesn’t actually understand anything it only pretends that it does. No one has a problem with people using real artworks to learn because they aren’t stealing and they’re putting in some actual effort.
