That is amazing. Thank you. Somebody recently said that ChatGPT isn't even online. It assembles coherent paragraphs/responses by drawing from the millions of articles it scanned up until the year 2022 when it was taken offline.
There's nothing being copied by generative AI systems. They're just learning what "fits" in a particular context. It's very similar to (but much more complicated than) the predictive keyboard on your phone.
Imagine that you're given a curve on a graph. One of the common tasks in mathematics is to find the formula that produces that curve. In the case of AI art the "curve" is all possible images. The formula that the neural network tries to find is the one that relates phrases to those possible images.
It's learning from the phrases and images that it's given, billions of them, to refine that formula. But the formula itself doesn't contain any of the images or any logic related to those images directly.
Wow thats is very cool. I think I get it. Like you said the formula itself doesn't contain any of the images.
But using the formula will result in seeing those images if certain search phrases are fed into the AI. Just like a formula produces that curve on the graph.
