Reply to comment by iidealized in [R] Provable Copyright Protection for Generative Models by vyasnikhil96

It's definitely a derivative work, but whether it violates copyright is complicated and depends what you're doing with it.

Similarly, a scaled-down thumbnail of an image is also a derivative work. You couldn't print and sell thumbnail-sized reproductions of copyrighted artworks. But many uses of thumbnails, for example in search engine results, do not violate copyright.

Diffusion models take about 1 byte of information from each training image - 5B images, 5Gb. So much less than a thumbnail.
