      Damage to a computer” is legal logorrhoea

      The model is the thing of value that is damaged.

      Learning from an image is not theft

      But making works derivative from someone else’s copyrighted image is a violation of their rights.

        So any art done in a style of another artist is theft? Of course not. Learning from looking at others is what all of us do. It’s far more complicated than you’re making it sound.

        IMO, If the derivative that the model makes is too close to someone else’s, the person distributing such work would be at fault. Not the model itself.

        But again, it’s very nuanced. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out in the courts.

          Of course not, but what does this have to do with generative models? Deep learning has as much to do with learning as democratic people’s north Korea does with democracy.
