Researchers found that Stable Diffusion, an AI image generation model, can reproduce exact copies of images from its training dataset, including copyrighted material and personal photos. The model memorized over a thousand training examples, posing copyright and privacy risks. The researchers warn that this is an industry-wide problem affecting models like DALL-E 2 and Imagen.
