Removing Training Data May Not Undo Influence

First detected

An MIT result suggests that deleting an artist's examples from a training set may leave model behavior largely unchanged and that generated images can be difficult to attribute to specific data. If replicated, rights enforcement cannot rely on record deletion alone and will need measurable unlearning or licensed-use accounting. This remains one reported study; independent reproduction and practical unlearning benchmarks would confirm or disprove the implication.
