…wow. From what I know - the defense generative models have against copyright is that they don’t copy their training data directly. If the models have that data in some form that can be repeated back, they can/should get reamed by lawsuits.
Clickbait. Actual reason they were sued -
A few weeks ago, ZUMA Press filed a complaint at a federal court in California, accusing Plex of using a photo of actress Cuca Escribano on its website, without permission. The photo was shot by Jose Perez Gegundez who typically licenses it to third parties for a fee.
Not the reason people would think of with this type of title.
… strain on RAM resources? What year is it?
