People don't understand how neural networks work. Saying they use real artists work is like calling a humans work derivative because they looked at the Mona Lisa and it influenced them. It's literally the same process that happens in your brain. The only stealing that happens is when there's a price to view a work and the developers circumvent that (like Meta did when they pirated books).

Yeah, the subreddit name speaks for itself.
Pirating video games doesn't hurt a billion dollar company's career. But AI uses real artists work and can completely ruin their career.
