This is the kind of misinformation that spreads around the internet without ever being fact checked.
Theft is the action or crime of stealing. The fact that some definitions include the concept of "with the intent to deprive the original owner of it" doesn't make digital theft not a theft.
Also, it could be argued that the theft of the IP is further substantiated by the loss of future potential revenue from that IP, as, after all, why would anyone pay the orignal owner and creator actual money when an AI agent will make an exact duplicate of said item and possibly further customize it for them as part of its already paid for product catalog?
