In this lawsuit, Getty alleged that Stability AI went so far as to remove Getty’s copyright management information, falsify its own copyright management information, and infringe upon Getty’s “famous trademarks” by duplicating Getty’s watermark on some images.
Generating things that look like Getty's watermark in their output is a special kind of stupid. :doh:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

Waaayyy back in the 80s I was working for a non-union print shop. One order we got was for some political dinner or similar. The client had us put a kind of small blurry oval in the corner which was intended to look a bit like a union logo. :wtf:
