Do we know what sources you were trained on? AI learns by looking at images and examining their lines, their curves, their colors, and all that other stuff just like a regular artist. The only difference is it has clear 1’s and 0’s, while normal artists have a brain science has not yet decoded, but that we’re pretty sure works on a binary-like system. (See: Neurons and electrical signals.)
As for what images made up its training data, no. No we would not know. Because the training data does not copy, store, or compress the images it was trained on. It just makes ‘math’ out of lines to learn general patterns. The same way a human brain would, albeit more efficiently and a bit easier to actually examine.
Also I have literally no idea what the 4chan guy did to make those images. It could be an elaborate troll. It could be a Model, a Hypernet, an Embedding, or a Surface Layer Addon, among other possibilities. Until it’s actually out (assuming he even posts it; he might just keep it to himself) we’ll have no way of knowing.
But either way. Artists don’t list all the ‘source data’ they use to create their own style. Or am I expected to believe that in a community of people deliberately mimicking and altering the GBAFE artstyle that nobody here ‘trained’ off the works of others? I don’t think artist’s work come out of a vacuum, and style is not copyrighted. Only individual images.
