      It is a point against those “it’s just like humans learning” arguments.

        I mean if you asked a human to draw a copyrighted image you would also get the copyrighted image. If the human had seen that copyrighted image enough times they might even have memorised The smallest details and give you a really good or near perfect copy.

        I agree with your point but this example does not prove it.

          …and they are also infringing copyright if they have not been given a right to copy that work.

              Maybe you weren’t trying to make the point I thought you were.

              I assumed you were trying to say that a human can draw a picture of (for example) the Joaquin Phoenix Joker and not be committing copyright infringement, therefore an AI can do the same. I was pointing out that the basis of that argument is false. A human drawing that would be infringing the copyright.

          Not from memory, without looking at the original during painting - at least not to this level of detail. No human will just incidentally “learn” to draw such a near-perfect copy. Not unless they’re doing it on purpose with the explicit goal of “learn to re-create this exact picture”. Which does not describe how any humans typically learn.

        No human could draw this image! Aside from the tons of humans who have. And a bunch of other scenes from popular media. Oh my god I think humans can learn what an image looks like and recreate it from memory. Oh shit, this ruins everything, somehow.
