> Without enormous training data from human victims, your "Artificial Intelligence" doesn't exist.
Copyright only concerns with expression, not ideas. You can still learn the concepts from copyrighted content without violating copyright. There is a limit to what can be protected from AI with copyrights.
When they trained Stable Diffusion they used 5B image-text pairs, but the final model fits in 5GB. So they didn't actually take too much, about 1 byte per input example, which is in line with the idea of learning general concepts rather than copying.
An interesting parallel - the human DNA is about the same size, 3.2B nucleotides. The SD model is like a cultural DNA, and like DNA is compact, easy to replicate and powerful. At this level copyright is an anti-pattern, genes and memes like to travel and evolve.
