I'm not sure this really qualifies as anything new. It's been well known for a long time that many generative AI models are capable of reconstructing copyrighted works (copilot, SD, etc.) from their original training data with nearly 100% fidelity, but until we have a definitive legal ruling it doesn't really matter.

Somewhat unrelated, but I wonder if it makes a legal difference if the AI acts like a browser and goes out, finds and image and downloads it. Basically the AI doesn't have a copyrighted image in its data set, but it will go grab YouTube screenshots or images from Google Images or something.

  It would still be distributing copyrighted work, even if it doesn't store a copy at any stage. It would go the way of Napster.

  Midjourney claims that you own all of the images it creates for you.

Is a definitive legal ruling even possible? Looking at music for example there are still many cases being fought over stolen melodies and that’s been a thing for generations. I think it’s going to go a similar way with „AI“ - lots of court cases, lots of different and nuanced rulings converging on a general idea what the legal boundaries are but with many grey areas in between.
