Reply to comment by EuphoricPenguin22 in [P] Introducing Vicuna: An open-source language model based on LLaMA 13B by Business-Lead2679

Perfect 10, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc. established that it was fair use for google images to keep thumbnail sized copies of images because providing image search was transformative.

I'm not a lawyer, but thumbnails are way closer to the original than network weights, and AI image generation is arguably way more transformative than providing image search. I'd be surprised if Stability loses that suit.

Perhaps applicable to the generated outputs of the model, but it’s not a clear case for the inputs used as training data. It could very well end up in the same situation as sampling in the music industry. Which is transformative, yet people using samples have to “clear” them by asking for permission (usually involves money).
