The thing most people don't really understand is that generative AI is not 'using' scraped Getty images in the conventional sense. The data that is used is collated to create a form of pattern of art. The system then creates a piece of art using the rules that the model gives. It's like saying 'create me a Van Gogh' style painting using these rules. There's no direct copying or cloning going on.

When you also go so far to mirror the image, it is practically a new creation. Applying some filter and changing the colors, maybe removing the background... well you can glue anything together in photoshop and is basically a remix. That is something completely new, loosely based on something found somewhere online right? But where exactly is the line in the sand? Reshape, resize, +1 on color map? When have I infringed on a copyright of a picture? I would argue as soon as the diffusion model has comercial use, royalties are due for the original creators. In any case the data set has to be cited properly. Otherwise it is piracy, which is very very cool, if you don't make money of it.
