The analogy is reduced to the point of irrelevancy.
OpenAI isn't trying to produce art. They are trying to replace human creation with artificial creation, but an artificial creation whose entire input was the human creation.
Kawano was not trying to replace Mondrian. And Mondrian was dead.
Personally I'm happy to restrict copyright expiry and AI input to the work of dead people. Right now copyright is too long and AI is happy to ignore entirely. Let's allow AI and humans to both reproduce the work of dead people but leave the living to their benefits of their creation so long as they are alive.
