“Not every image looks like this, but it’s pretty clear after a few minutes experimentation from a friend that (a) Bard makes fantastic images but that (b) it is drawing from copyrighted sources and (c) as capable as the other systems Reid Southen and I looked at in returning derivative artwork that appears to infringe without attribution.”
What we tested: Based on a friend's few minutes of experimentation, it is pretty clear that Bard makes fantastic images, draws from copyrighted sources, and is as capable as the other systems Marcus and Reid Southen looked at in returning derivative artwork that appears to infringe without attribution, though not every image looks like this.
