Gen AI outputs are unattributable, study finds
Researchers discovered a phenomenon they call “attribution decay,” where the more data a generative model is trained on, the harder it becomes to trace a generated image to a single image from the training data.

Top left: an image from a model trained on public-domain artwork by 744 artists. Beside it: the alternate versions produced if each artist, in turn, had been excluded from training. Dai, Z., Gifford, D.K. Outputs of generative diffusion models are often unattributable.
