Among the goals seems to be a bit of well-poisoning. Artists have done this previously by creating art saying, say, "This site sells STOLEN artwork, do NOT by from them", and encouraging followers to reply with "I want this on a t-shirt", which had previously been used by rip-off sites to pirate artwork. See:

If art streams are tree-spiked with copyrighted or trademarked works, then AI generators might be a bit more gun-shy about training with abandon on such threads.

It's a form of monkeywrenching.

Not sure about Stable Diffusion / Metawhatsit, but OpenAI's training set is already curated to make sure it avoids violence and pornography; and in any case, the whole thing relies on humans to come up with descriptions. Not clear how this sort of thing would "spike the well" in that sense.
