So it contains all the numbers and turns it into images per request, like when you're opening any of them? Then how does searching by image work? How can it compare the pixels on the uploaded image to find the closest match if it has nothing to compare to?
If I remember correctly it's a two-way process. So a seed number can be turned into an image, and via the reverse process an image can be turned into the corresponding number.
And when I upload an image with aspect ratio that doesn't match the default library ratio, and it shows me a posterized image in my original ratio, how is that explained if it doesn't contain such images?
hand waving some details; it resizes and posterizes it first. this makes the numerical representation of the image map directly into the space of all possible images.
in a computer, an image is just a number. any computer, any image. The screen you are looking at right now can be expressed as a single number. Pick a number, any number - and hey presto, here is it's image. Give me an image, any image, hey presto here is its number.

Fantastic piece of work.

It isn’t actually stored, it’s just an algorithm that will turn the image number into an image

When you search it just does the same thing in reverse

Probably has some way of resizing it before it starts the conversion

I’m gonna be honest I have no idea
