probably (but I doubt there is case law here because suing a child for copyright infringement would be a really bad look)

Wait. In this analogy, you think that even watching the film counts as copyright infringement? To be clear, stability have not used SD to generate an image which is infringing, they have merely trained a model which someone else could use to generate (allegedly) infringing material.

no. the problem in this analogy would be the copying. i.e. making the drawing

But Stability hasn't done that so what's with the lawsuit?
