How do you get that coincidence? To be able to accurately respond to the cue of an artist's name, it has to know the artist, doesn't it?

In any case, in the example images here, the AI clearly knew who Mickey is and used that to generate Mickey Mouse images. Mickey has got to be in the training data.

For other artist cases the corpus can include many images that includes a description with phrases like "inspired by Banksy". Then the model can learn to generate images in the style of Banksy without having any copyrighted images by Banksy in the training set.

The Mickey Mouse case though is obviously bs, the training data definitely does just have tons of infringing examples of Mickey Mouse, it didn't somehow reinvent the exact image of him from first principles.
