It's quite different, because GZIP produces a lossy copy of an image, whereas models produce a distinct image that shares many aspects of style and composition.

It's quite different, because GZIP produces a lossy copy of an image, whereas models produce a distinct image that shares many aspects of style and composition. In one case it's obvious the product is the original image, in the other it's a derivative that may or may not be sufficiently different to be protected under fair use.
I can write an algorithm that just generates random noise in the dimensions of art, and if I run it long enough it'll output things that are "close enough" to copyright works. There's no argument for that program being copyright infringement, and that holds for models as well.

(sans artificial random injection) sounds like a lossy compression function to me!
- CuriouslyC 4y agoI'd like to see a human make art after you lobotomize them.
