AI may be learning from billions of images without copying any one of them

MIT researchers have identified what they call “attribution decay” in large generative models.

That's a funny way to spell "plagiarism laundering".

So, if we can't see it now, then it didn't happen? Everything's super cool?

Fuck that noise.

Yes it doesn't copy one entirely. A little bit here, a little bit there. And in sum nothing it makes is original.
