Sometimes I have to wonder about the hypocrisy you can see on HN threads. When its software development, many here seem to understand the merits of a similar lawsuit against Copilot[1], but as soon as its a different group such as artists, then it's "no, that's not how a NN works" or "the NN model works just the same way as a human would understand art and style."

Aren't they different?

Stable Diffusion is about closed to open.

Copilot is about open to closed.

The Stable Diffusion version of Copilot would be something like

"Give me a cart checkout algorithm in the style of Carmack, secure C style."

And that's fine, if the destination code license were just as open--or even less restricting--than the source codes' license (relicensing rules permitting).

What could be the issue is the generated source becomes even more closed or proprietary, which defeats the original source intent.

Is that right?
