The claim

“AI image generators can reproduce copyrighted images from their training data.”

Original caseByPsamiKoinovera teamPublished 6 Oct 2026
Supports

Analyses replication of training images and identifies training-data duplication as a contributing factor. Supports the technical possibility of near-copy outputs.[1]

Similarity is not a legal infringement test; sampled models and datasets.

Reports reproducible extraction across image-generation systems. Provides additional examples of memorisation beyond a single model study.[2]

Targeted extraction and older models; reproduction frequency in everyday use remains separate.

Review notes

Short, specific corrections to this case’s reasoning. A full opposing argument belongs in a case of its own.
