Underpaid artists in China and India "repainting" or "touching up” or "customizing” the images, like those mass-produced Thomas Kinkade prints that would have a few highlight dabs painted on by hand by someone.
Then, I assume, the AI-generated part would be protected the same way a Photoshop-generated background gradient would be as part of a completed image.
