Yeah this needs to be higher up, very misleading! To be fair though, they do point it out in their FAQ: "Version 1 of Stable Attribution’s algorithm decodes an image generated by an AI model into the most similar examples from the data that the model was trained with."

To me it actually seems like this language intentionally obscures that they are 'only' using similarity search.

Imo this does a huge disservice to AI communication, providing fake explanations where even cutting edge research has poor insight into these models.
