I agree, and I honestly think that a big part of the issue with AI image generation is people just really have a hard time conceiving of a technology that can make such accurate images from a relatively small model like this.

"It must have a copy" - but van Gogh didn't make paintings of hot rods or whatever, and you can't copyright style or technique.

I see so many lay persons and even sometimes people with a CS background describe diffusion models as some sort of magic content addressable data store you "just" look up a bunch of original images in and somehow copy pieces of. These debates would get a whole lot better if more people had a least a very basic understanding of how the training process works.
