>it's the heart and the detail that make them what they are. You cannot clone that
You absolutely can and these theft machines are proving that, literally cloning those details with very high precision and fidelity.
I didn't mean visual fidelity, I meant the way that plot and theme and art interleave. I first watched My Neighbour Totoro on VHS with no visual fidelity and it was still magic.
You can easily steal the style of a political cartoon or especially XKCD but you cannot steal or generate genuine fresh insight or poignant relevant metaphor for the current moment.
