Yeah, that's the oddest part of many of the pro-AI arguments. They want to anthromopotize the idea of learning but also clearly understand that the scalability of a bot exceeds that of a human.
They also don't seem to have much experience in the artist world. An artist usually can't reproduce a picture from memory, and if they can they are subject to copyright infringement depending on what and how they depict it, even if the image isn't a complete copy. By this logic of "bots are humans" a bot should be subject if they make a Not-legally-disctinct-enough talking mouse
