The uncreative, unimaginative losers will be foisting their unearned AI plagiarism on society at the expense of true human creativity.

Which means they're accepting the authenticity of the painting based on a technology they don't begin to understand.

It was Raphael who got Michelangelo the job painting the ceiling of the Sistine chapel. Michelangelo had no social skills to speak of but the younger Raphael was a world-class schmoozer right out of the gate. He put the bug in Pope Julius II's ear that Michelangelo would be just the man for the job. But he wasn't doing the sculptor and favors, he knew Michelangelo had never painted so much as a picket fence before, much less a major work of art, and he was betting that the would fall flat on his keester.

The outcome reminds me of that scene from "Quigley Down Under," Quigley, referring to a six-shooter, "I said I didn't have much use for one. Didn't say I didn't know how to use it." Michelangelo turned out to be a fair hand with a paint brush, but he preferred to find the statues hiding inside raw blocks of marble to paint and canvas.
