Considering how DALL-E is fed with so many stock images that it sometimes spontaneously generates specific stock image websites' watermarks on output,[1] this is the stupidest, blandest possible ouroboros.

The latent-diffusion[1] I've got running at home frequently generates stock image watermarks (e.g. "The London Skyline at night in the style of Carboni"[2], images 1, 2, and 6)

Just because "Stock Image Sites" haven't sued Dall-E, doesn't mean it is legal.

The minute Dall-E becomes a threat, these sites will enforce Dall-E to retrain from public / creative commons images. But Stock Image sites will and be one-up on Dall-E

It's almost you don't how to play chess or business strategy.

Is this DALL-E? There’s no DALL-E signature on the image.

The same prompt with DALL-E gives me proper silhouettes with no watermark.

Probably Midjourney which doesn't add the signature and outputs 4 images likes this.

This is such a clever hack: “here, take this answer; it’s good the ‘AI’ generated it”, and if you can’t check like you did you might be able to spoof a self serving recommendation through simply because interprability of the inference is so difficult and reproducing might be costly.

Meh it’s still original artwork. It’s derivative ha.
