> (OPs comment re generative text not withstanding)
That's like saying, "Not withstanding the part of this that is true, but would be inconvenient to the idea that Adobe has something invaluable."
You can't train a useful text-to-image model without some kind of text conditioning approach. All the existing text conditioning approaches cannot be developed using only the data they have. How else can I put this?
The whole insight here is that the idea of "clean" is already kind of magical, that people want "clean" image models but they don't really understand the meaning of "clean" - or rather, nobody wants to take leadership in educating how these models work. People want good vibes, aesthetically pleasing "clean" image generators, not actually technologically clean image generators.
But this court case would outlaw the good vibes "clean" generators, and since there are no technologically clean image generators, that's it for image generators.
