Wildcard attack, not against any specific work, but against the algorithm itself. If they wanted that, they should have patented image diffusion. And when they want to copyright their own styles, the same thing. They want a style to work like a trademark, to block any future work from using it. Another attempt to make copyright more powerful, making current holders have an advantage over newcomers. Basically they would like copyright to get trademark and patent powers, to cover any future reimplementation or style variation. But AI isn't coming just for art, and diffusion models are useful for many other things. They are not the one and only voice that matters.
