I use AI art generators to create images for my posts. I must admit it rarely gives me exactly what I want, but it usually delivers something usable (often after several tries....). But I'm aware of the controversy around the way it's trained.
Your experiment is interesting, because what it inadvertently demonstrates is that Microsoft is better at training it's AI, and doesn't care for other people's intellectual property rights in the process. The Michelangeo Creation is pretty much a direct crib from the Vatican ceiling !
I guess it is why more and more businesses which have to maintain client confidentiality are banning their staff from using Copilot and moving to Linux or Mac, where it's not a compulsory installation. I wonder if Microsoft is doing that to be "helpful" or are they using it as a way to rifle through the files on every PC so they can train their AI on them.

Creating the perfect image using AI requires effort and patience through multiple attempts, trial and error. Therefore, I do not consider it an activity devoid of creativity. I have read Microsoft's Privacy Statement, and they assure that they respect intellectual property. If this is the case, I am quite surprised at how well-trained the AI is. Although, if I remember correctly, it is based on previous training with DALL-E, so I still have my reservations. I believe we are still in a period of learning and adaptation, and it is necessary to discuss these topics constructively. Best regards, and thank you for reading and for your support.
