Artists Lose First Round of Copyright Infringement Case Against AI Art Generators

[Kablooie]

13. AI doesn't contain copies of anything it trains on.

Each image is just used to adjust weights of digital neurons.
The same neurons are adjusted over and over and over and over again.
Billions and billions of times.

There is nothing in the AI that retains anything of any of the training images.
But the result is that if an artist's work was used to train the AI, the user can request something done it the artist's style and the AI can create it.

It's totally bizarre and doesn't fit any concepts of copyright that we have right now.
Digital neurons are a whole new concept that is so complex that even the programmers that created it don't really know how it works.

It's going to upset a lot of society but it's here so will never go away so there's no choice except to learn to get along with it somehow.
