Tell me you don’t know how AI works, while sounding arrogant.
“literally has no memory” is a fun semantic argument against the actual reality that these models have been caught attempting to reproduce the signatures of artists they trained on, and in some cases reproducing the likeness of copyrighted photos from key phrases. Like the “Afghan Girl” fiasco that say them ban the phrase immediately.
Your argument is basically that if I type in “Mona Lisa” into a generative engine and get a copy of the Mona Lisa with slightly wavier hair, and some trees in the background are different, that it is not derivative. Which is a laugh.
