Separately, stock image supplier Getty Images took Stability AI to court for reportedly using images from its site without permission to train Stable Diffusion , an art-generating AI

That's why, at first, I wasn't sure if I had the technical savvy to try out Leap AI , a nifty image-generation tool that works on JavaScript and that folks can integrate into their own apps.
