  The output of the training though is unrecognizable.

    Sometimes, the output is a recognisable plagiarism of a specific input. If it isn't recognisable, then it's merely _distributed_ plagiarism. A million output, each of which are 0.0001% plagiarising each of million inputs.

      Does The War on Drugs plagiarize Bruce Springsteen?
      • SideburnsOfDoom 3y ago
        Does The War on Drugs produce outputs on command, to prompts such as "a song in the style of Bruce Springsteen" ? Is The War on Drugs a VC-funded band replacement? Are other future bands going to learn from The War on Drugs? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ai-stable-diffusion-stability-ai-lawsuit-artists-sue-image-generators/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ai-stable-diffusion-stability-a... https://www.documentjournal.com/2023/05/ai-art-generators-molly-crabapple-open-letter-copyright-law-stability-ai-midjourney-dall-e https://www.documentjournal.com/2023/05/ai-art-generators-mo...

  > Neither was the original training data, which was copyrighted books, art, etc. If the original training data is a copyrightable (derivative or not) work, perhaps eligible for a compilation copyright, the model weights might be a form of lossy mechanical copy of that work, and be both subject to its copyright and an infringing unauthorized derivative if it is. If its not, then I think even before fair use is considered the only violation would be the weights potentially infringing copyrights on original works, but I don’t think incomplete copy automatically works for them the way it would for an aggregate; I’d think you'd have to demonstrate reproduction of the creative elements protected by copyright from individual source works to make the claim that it infringed them.
