Sounds to me a bit like #StableDiffusion and other #art #AI function a bit like lossy #CompressionAlgorithms, if this is the case, that is simply able to combine decompressed data from a bunch of pictures at once. This has a lot of implications for the #copyright of these pictures too, because if it's easily possible to get a one-to-one like this of images from the #TrainingData, or at least have parts that, upon the right sort of scrutiny, are effectively direct copies, then you're basically just reproducing other #artists' work.

If I were to take a bunch of images into GIMP and combine them in a bunch of weird ways, or if I were to simply trace an existing image, or take screen grabs from an existing image and assemble them into textures for such an image... All of these break #copyright, and can be legally prosecuted for #plagiarism / #ArtTheft if you can find the original image under scrutiny. #ArtificialIntelligence should be no different.
