In the early stuffs, Stable Diffusion 1 (not XL 1!) and such, if you prompted for stock photo style images, you regularly (~30%) got something resembling the Getty stock photo watermark in the lower right.

Was quite annoying but adding "public domain, Creative Commons" to the prompt usually got rid of it (the model knows that public domain images have no watermark :-). Since SD2.0 I haven't seen this happening at all.



I've generated thousands of images using SD 1.5 based models and I've never got the getty watermark. That makes my think that some dishonest lawyer used img2img.


I can't find a publicly accessible SD1 model, but CompVis LatentDiffusion also uses the LAION dataset.

(1) go to https://huggingface.co/spaces/multimodalart/latentdiffusion

(2) enter "businesspeople arguing in the boardroom" as the prompt

(3) generate a couple images

(4) find things which look a lot lot lot like watermarks of stock photo companies

This is what I get (first try!): https://ibb.co/1620jT8


Haha, that model is ancient. I doubt that anyone is using it now. Can they reproduce that problem in any recent model?
