They could do it with a click-through license agreement, but they don’t have one of those either. So it seems to have the legal force of a polite request. (IANAL)

Has the same problems as midjourney et al: you can feed it pictures of a friend or yourself or a celebrity, and the result is always off - not recognizable as them

That's pretty easily fixable if you train a LoRA or similar so that the model has a specific likeness in mind. (You can look at - and despair at - Civitai if you want proof.)

It's harder to do at inference time without training, but I wouldn't assume it'll be impossible forever, especially with the existence of ControlNet.

There are still terms of use, which can dictate how you are allowed to use a website. And there are watermarks in the corners.

if there were, globally, no copyright at all in any "ai" generated images, and one confidently thought there never would be, then simply using the images, in the case that one only needed one or two images, would probably be fine.

however if there were large nations in which the law was still in flux or unclear, or one wanted to generate new images on the fly without fear of rate-limiting or refusal of service, then one would potentially wish to work out an arrangement.

This is a GAN, so you can just project the image of yourself into the latent space (which will give you a near-pixel-perfect reconstruction), fix the identity-relevant variables in the _z_, and edit it as necessary. (No workarounds like finetuning necessary. Just one of the many forgotten advantages of GANs.)

Does this apply to any photo taken by a camera with "AI" filters? There must be a line somewhere.

There are lots of tools that don’t have copyrightable output that require commercial licensing to use.
