21st century collage tool?
While advocating for the illegalization of collages seems a bit of a stretch, I’m curious how true this is.
The LAION B dataset is something like 100 TB and stable diffusion is about 10 GB so there is a factor of 10000 compression. That means a single pixel represents a 100x100 region. Perhaps someone more familiar with the topic could weigh in, but it would seem that the model would need to be representing content from more than just a single image at a to achieve that level of compression.
If so the correct analogy is not a collage but a musical scale and yes Beethoven took musical notes that Bach had used but it was not exactly a copy.
