The copyright situation around all this is very... interesting. Pretty clear that this dataset is not legal but what about resulting models? What if the texts actually where bought 'properly'?
I just use this for the German "Umlaute" it's the easiest way to get them while not putting special characters in hard to reach places (backslash anyone?). Easy to install and set up and as a bonus I can type greek letters for math stuff now!
To be fair they may actually know there stuff but from a didactic point-of-view it is very difficult introduce a `FactoryProvider` (or to a lesser extent even an `HTTPClient`) alongside basic OOP concepts.
Wikipedia is one of those services about whose reliability I have never thought, simply because it always seems to work. Very impressive especially considering that their tech stack doesn't appear to be the most modern or is (in the case of php) especially known for its robustness.
Yeah this needs to be higher up, very misleading!
To be fair though, they do point it out in their FAQ: "Version 1 of Stable Attribution’s algorithm decodes an image generated by an AI model into the most similar examples from the data that the model was trained with."
To me it actually seems like this language intentionally obscures that they are 'only' using similarity search.
Imo this does a huge disservice to AI communication, providing fake explanations where even cutting edge research has poor insight into these models.
