@nprofile1q... In that case you can argue that the particular work was not substantially used in the end result, if all you needed was a pile of pixels (or a palette) without their positional association to each other.

To me, cases like this sit far outside the "substantially used" circle.

AI "models" on the other hand, explicitly consider the positional associations of the pixels of the original images at various scales, not just their color.
