An artist can look at images for reference, and draw something new inspired by them. Why does it matter if a software tool can do this much faster?

If the artist makes the image very similar to one of the reference photos, it may be a copyright violation. It doesn't matter if the artist used a pencil or software to create the new work.

Current AI image generation does, however, make it easy to unknowingly violate copyright. If it generates an image similar to something else out there you wouldn't know.

I don't know much about copyright law though, am I wrong?

I don't know if you're right or wrong, but it seems plausible that we could create a database of copyrighted images to check against.

Every original image is copyrighted. You're suggesting making a digital copy of every image there is to check that AI isn't generating digital copies of every image there is.

Not a copy, a hash or fingerprint. Just enough data to measure if it's substantially similar.

But yes, it may be infeasible to index and compare against every image ever uploaded.

Couldn't I just add a few non-sense bytes into my images to change the hash/fingerprint?
