That's the key, humans can take inspiration from other people's copyrighted work, why can't AI?

Because they cant. They do not have the ability to be creative or be inspired.

Why can’t they? Sure if you ask it to make a pixel perfect replica of the Mona Lisa it will probably do it. But if you’re asking it to make something new it will make something new.

Then you don't need to use copyrighted material as training data. If the AI can be creative and make new things it doesn't need the copyrighted material. Just tell it to make new things and use the new things to make other new things.
