Can this be considered a copyright infringement? Example images

[HybOj]

Hello

I used img2img stable diffusion on this pixel art. Can these results be still considered a copyright infringement? Im very lost at this and I dont want to produce something, which I can than be legally attacked as a stealing someones art. My gut tells me, that the stuff on the right is a re-imagination of the stuff on the left. Yes, they share similar poses, as they are animals, but its completely different style.

Thank you for your opinion!

I don't understand what you mean? I'm confused by the comparison images. However, it is important to note that AI does not copy anyone elses image. It does not store billions of other peoples images!!!!! It is trained on them but does not store or copy them. It analyses them so it can build up a picture of what a cat looks like and the different varieties. When you ask the AI to create a cat it looks at the analysis to construct a cat for you. It doesn't cut and paste or otherwise use anyone else's image. It creates a brand new image through diffusion in the style you prompted for. If the image the LLM was trained on happened to include a signature or a copyright overlay, then the AI will think that images have signatures and may or may not include a sort of signature in the corner of the image it produces but that doesn't mean it has copied someone's signature from a real image.

Comparison images are the source images which are not mine, and the resulting AI upscales Ive produced based on that. Are the results a copyright infringement? Thank you
