If you search "Superman Logo" you find actual copies of the Superman logo which are served from Google's cache.
If you ask a VFX artist to create the "Superman Logo" with Photoshop they'll do an excellent job.
The first one isn't copyright violation because it is fair use. The second maybe if it is redistributed but we don't ban the use of photoshop by artists because they can choose to reproduce copyright things with it.
- gedy 3y agoI agree, and I honestly think that a big part of the issue with AI image generation is people just really have a hard time conceiving of a technology that can make such accurate images from a relatively small model like this. "It must have a copy" - but van Gogh didn't make paintings of hot rods or whatever, and you can't copyright style or technique.

These debates would get a whole lot better if more people had a least a very basic understanding of how the training process works.
