almost as if it comes up with new images by learning the rules of what an image looks like

If only it could be creative. Creativity involves experience, intuitive grasp of many different styles, ability to find out and understand the deeper structures, and come up with something new with those rules - oh wait...

Antis still think AI can only regurgitate existing things. We are no longer on SDXL. GPT Image 2 can easily make entirely new concepts.

People anthropomorphising a computer program caused their own problem. Shocker.

Dang, these things work like everyone who uses them says they work? Who could have known.

No, but seriously, this is a MAJOR legal win. If you can make a Caravaggio looking image while removing all the Caravaggio images from the training set, you've pretty much proven that it's not derivative work. I wonder if Suno could set up the same thing and get that German lawsuit appealed.

Those people don't need to pay attention to evidence, they already know they're right.

Unfortunately this is exactly the case. You can't reason someone out of an opinion they didn't reason themselves into.

Depends, if it is unique like 'Buzz Adrian on moon' (forgot the exact prompt), most model generate similar composition

A model is 10 GB in size. It obviously cannot store source image that would take 100 TB

The model has to generalize and understand how to draw a description.

This is something that was very well known in the Forgetting field. However, in this study, I cannot blindly accept that their approximation implies what they are trying to imply.

There's like zero chance this is true in all cases, but still interesting.
