I really do not believe midjourney is storing all the files on the Internet in a humongous database. They are just exposing the AI to them for training just like you expose your computer to them when you visit with your web browser. I'm happy to be wrong about this, but I'm just not convinced. Please try to keep your temper.

Are you sure?

The training weights can literally recreate images its been trained on. That makes them a humongous database, albeit with lossy compression. They aren't replicated exactly, but they are replicated enough that I'm confident that these "Joker" images passes as copyright infringement before a jury (ie: is substantially similar).
