This hand-waving appears mostly a thinly disguised attempt to obscure the clear and present harms such models already pose while minimising the considerable legal and regulatory exposure that would come with disclosing details about training data.

Auditing of Stable Diffusion's underlying datasets has revealed legal challenges and deeply problematic content.
“This has enabled auditing of the underlying datasets, which has revealed legal challenges [49] and deeply problematic content [4, 5].”

The legal aspects of copyright related to the outputs of AI in Australia have yet to be updated to address the use of AI and are inadequately regulated.
“The legal aspects of copyright related to the outputs of AI in Australia have yet to be updated to address the use of AI and are inadequately regulated (see Gaffar & Albarashdi, 2024;Samuelson, 2023).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
