I don't even see how using a work to train a model is copyright infringement. unless the model is a machine for completely recreating what's fed into it and they're not.
This is not "the general vibe of Dune inspiration" this is literally a frame of dune compressed in a slightly different way than how the JPEG codec compresses it.
The vibe of dune does not include the location of individual strands of hair from an individual frame of a movie. That's just lossy compression. I don't make a new artistic work just because I save your shit as a JPEG and the pixels are now slightly different.
the prompt wasn't "the vibe of dune" it was "a screenshot from the dune movie 2021" though
You misunderstand. I'm saying the AI did not take some kind of abstract inspiration from Dune, or sort of know how to recreate it. It just stores the images in a shitty compressed format. This is just proof that it does that, and you can tell easily here because it isn't mixing in other stuff
right. I still am not convinced that using a work to train a model per se infringes on copyright.
that said, I think example above demonstrates that a model can be used to infringe copyright, and the infringement occurs for the specific output on a case by case basis. just like it would with a person who directly stole from a work they were familiar with.
