And? What's the model supposed to do? It's just doing what many human artists would do, if they're not explicitly being paid to create new IP.

If infringement is happening, it arguably doesn't happen when an infringing work product is generated (or regurgitated, or whatever you want to call it.) Much less when the model is trained. It's when the output is used commercially -- by a human -- that the liability should rightfully attach.

And it should attach to the human, not the tool.

I can literally imagine hundreds of things that are true to this description but entirely distinct from "Predator."

> used commercially

Isn't that what these AI companies are doing? Charging you for access to this?

Does their ToS say anywhere that they will come to defend you if you get sued for using their images?

(Because proper stock agencies offer those kind of protections. If OpenAI doesn't, then don't use them as a replacement to a stock agency.)
