One way to find out[edit source]

I would like to see an AI that can tell you what training data its output is most similar to.

Having this feature would help verify whether the output is truly "art inspired by the training data" or whether it's more like a copy.

From a technical standpoint, this would cost next to nothing to add. Generative AIs have a built-in latent vector space, where anything it generates is going to have a "nearest neighbor" in the training data.

If I made an open-source generative AI, I would definitely include this feature. Closed-source AI companies of course would never offer this feature, because it might reveal that their AI isn't very creative after all.

Maybe someone could implement this in Stable Diffusion?
