    The tool performs an act of synthesis just like an art student looking at a bunch of art might.

    Lol, no. A student still incorporates their own personality in their work. Art by humans always communicates something. LLMs can’t communicate.

    People create novel things with these tools and should be protected under the law.

    I thought it’s “the tool” the “performs an act of synthesis”. Do people create things, or the LLM?

      the machine learning model creates the picture, and does have a “style”, the “style” has been at least partially removed from most commercial models but still exist.

        It doesn’t have a “style”. It stores a statistical correlation of art styles.

          different models will have been trained on different ratios of art styles, one may have been trained on a large number of oil paintings and another pencil sketches, these models would provide different outputs to the same inputs.

            You’re not stating anything different than my “correlation” statement.
