Copyrighted training data is used in the training of a model, but doesn’t exist within the model weights in any real sense. Doesn’t seem different to if I hired an artist to make me a painting of a Disney character (I’m sure there exists copyrighted material in their training dataset).

If it generates an artists signature when producing something in that artists style, then I’d argue against that idea. And frequently enough, they will generate a recognizable signature.

This is just because it’s still a little dumb. If I hired a human artist to produce something in another other artists style and it copied their signature, what is that considered to be? Artist stupidity imo. Or at least a failure of communication.

Models will get better and stop doing that.
