They've got a copy of a figure from the original diffusion paper, showing a diffusion process on a spiral dataset. They seem to completely misunderstand it. The figure does not show image diffusion, rather it shows a diffusion process in which each data item is a 2D point. The figure is showing diffusion on an entire dataset and demonstrating that it can approximately reconstruct the spiral-shaped distribution.

I'm surprised they couldn't find someone with even a rudimentary understanding of diffusion models to review this.

I don’t know if it’s that they lack the understanding or they aim to avoid that understanding because it largely invalidates the lawsuit. In general taking abstract concepts and styles from things is acceptable, not protected by copyright, and crucial to creative exploration. The burden of proof is on those claiming SD is not doing this.
