Stable Diffusion copyright lawsuits could be a legal earthquake for AI

I do agree that AI is a great tool to generate whatever we want and I have no problem with that. My only concern is abuse in the case of copyrights. And a partial copy is still under copyright and IP. Because the services aren’t completely free they might be subject to IP.

Let’s say I generate a picture with the style of a famous artist and then use it in one of my marketing campaign. No one will be able to sue me ? You are 100% sure about it ? If so, then then could also sue the AI company also isn’t it ?

It seems like a total abolition of copyright otherwise

You absolutely cannot be sued for selling a picture in the style of another artist. It may be debateable whether something is style or content.

You can be sued for selling a copy or a substantially similar work of art. You can make this happen with AI tools.

It seems unlikely to me that someone could go after open AI if you use their tools to generate a copy right violation. But IANAL.
