![]() There are several issues with the lawsuit as constructed, according to experts.įirst, only specific images, not styles, are protected by copyright. Other artists have reported similar examples of users creating works in their styles. The complaint also alleges that these image generators have empowered users to create what they refer to as “fakes.” For example, after the Korean illustrator Kim Jung Gi died, a software developer who goes by the username 5you, used Stable Diffusion to create a model that could produce images in Kim’s style. The image generators, according to the plaintiffs, are nothing but a “21st century collage tool” that has the potential to greatly damage artistic industries and was built off of protected works. The plaintiffs claim that these copied images are then used to create “ derivative works,” a work that it “incorporate enough of the original work that it obviously stems from the original,” in the Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute’s definition. “The primary goal of a diffusion model is to reconstruct copies of the training data with maximum accuracy and fidelity to the Training Image,” the complaint reads. Then it can generate new images when a prompt in input. ![]() This model is built on a technological process called “diffusion” where the program is first trained to be able to reconstruct images that it has been fed. “Though the rapid success of Stable Diffusion has been partly reliant on a great leap forward in computer science, it has been even more reliant on a great leap forward in appropriating copyrighted images,” the complaint reads.Īll three companies mentioned have built their AI image generators on a software library called Stable Diffusion, which was developed by Stability AI. ![]() Getty Images Sues Stability AI Over Photos Used to Train Stable Diffusion Image Generator ![]()
