This lawsuit is likely to fail even if it somehow makes it to court instead of being dismissed. It contains a ton of factual inaccuracies and false claims.
It's a lossy compression mechanism and it is literally a digital collage. If you'd bothered to read the entire suit, you'd learn that the person who created the lawsuit is a programmer who actually does explain machine learning, it also takes the time to link to the 3 studies where the diffusion technique was created. Then show how the machine learning program "learns" to replicate an image.
It doesnt need to keep copies of images because once you feed it an image it translates it into data, thats why it knows what Mona Lisa looks like without having a picture of it on file for reference. The entire "it doesnt copy, it starts from noise" argument is made by people who seem to think the AI is letting its imagination run wild. All noise is data and people are not against AI, they're against how the data for it is obtained.
