Yes, but I think it's misguided. Influencing others is what happens to successful artists. It is part of the definition of success.

What would dance music be without the DNA of Sugar Hill Gang? IMHO SHG is greater for their influence. I do not think that all artists influenced by them should pay them, SHG would just have to pay it on backwards anyway.

I don't see content being part of an AI model or human model to be very different. IMHO it's not a matter of it being in there, but how literal the output is. Of course, if an AI is producing work that we'd call plagiarism if a human created it, then there is a problem.
