well I guess it wouldn't be different, only there aren't any companies zipping up millions of images and then offering people the chance to get those images by putting in the text prompt that recreates them without paying any fees to the artists whose images were used.

Search engines do that.

good point, but didn't Google Image search lose some case and have to change their behavior?

If it's what I'm thinking about, I think they were forced to have decentralized image caching (i.e. the "user" is the one downloading images, Google just indexes).

LAION-5b is also just an indexer (in terms of images).
