It's not as if researchers are trawling facebook to build their AI models. Just looking at the output, and the unnaturally specific body poses, I'd guess they just put in an order for 50,000 stock photos and went on from there. If you negotiate, you can trivially get it down to 0.10 per image which is just 5000 dollars. And by trivially, I mean just email several sources saying your budget is in the low thousands. So most likely, everyone got compensated. All rights were preserved.
