Just as they would be to view in person in the museum, but NOT for other uses that break copyright law.

Having been an artist for a very long time, in one form or another, I'm just amazed that people think anything they find on the internet is considered "public domain" or is available for use by anyone. How would they feel if someone appropriated THEIR art for something that they don't profit from, or even support?

Good ethical and legal rule of thumb, even in the AI age: is it yours? Did you create it? NO? Then don't use it.
