What makes it unique is that the distribution section on the CV states: 'All images used for the tutorial are created by us and no copyrighted work of any artist is used.' However, even if the artist's own copyrighted works are not used for AI learning, the act of creating and using the product satisfies the “similarity and dependency” associated with the copyrighted works, which constitutes infringement. rights” wrote Agamatsu.
