A tech and philosophy blog I like has a really nice watercolor background image. So, being me, I viewed source and found the name of the image. It is: "ohabryka_Topographic_aquarelle_book_cover_by_Thomas_W._Schaller"

Ok, so I know Thomas Schaller is a famous watercolor painter. But he never painted something called "Topographic Aquarelle" or "Ohabryka." It's an AI-generated image, but they just kept the prompt in the filename, including THE NAME OF THE ARTIST WHOSE STYLE THEY COPIED 🙃

Ohabryka isn't even a word in any language as far as I can tell.

It's a beautiful made-up word though.

I'm mostly ok with AI art for purposes like a web site background. Just be a little classier about it and don't directly copy a living artist and then use their name :)
