Very unlikely they will share even if they really wished to, for one they don't want competition to have the same data, for another it will just expose them to lawsuits, some images are bound to be problematic and would slip their filters.
Openai just uses the word Open in their name, they are commercial company like any other, they are a business first.
- mokchira 5y agoTo be honest I don't see how this does not lead to lawsuits anyway. Its only a matter of time before the AI spits out something that is a bit too close to an artist's actual work. Withholding their data, which undoubtedly contains copyrighted material if they were just blindly scraping, will only forestall things. The earlier they start being transparent the better it will be for them in the long run.

Knowing that there is potentially copyright material does not give you standing to sue them, unless you can show reasonable cause that they could have used your copyrighted content no court will take it to discovery to prove it conclusively, your case will be thrown out for lack of standing. However if they share their data set, then you can show that they actually took it and have standing to sue them. Making any potential case more complex and expensive.
