Depends on if it's considered "transformative" enough. If Google can cache thumbnails for search, how is an AI model not a "search database+algorithm?"
That said, I do expect that SD will be shut down for copyright infringement at some point because you are right, the model does have a bunch of copyrighted material in it and Disney's lawyers will probably come swifter and more prepared than the defense.
- manholio 4y agoAs a general rule, the fair use thumbnails enjoy is very limited, only in certain jurisdictions, and only for very specific use-cases. An universal art-production machine that can compete in the market place with the original artist - and indeed crush them on productivity and price - certainly does not qualify as fair use.
