The way these image generating neural nets are trained is illegal. They copy and use other artists' work without asking them or paying them. There's a lot of legal exposure here - why hasn't anyone taken advantage of that yet?
- ChadNauseam 4y agoIn the US we have fair use, and it's not clear at all to me that this wouldn't count. If I took every image on artstation and averaged all of them (creating a muddy mess), I think I would be legally able to distribute the result without compensating or crediting the original artists.
- OctopusLupid 4y agoWhat makes you say it's illegal? In the EU, UK, Japan and Singapore, it is explicitly legal to train AI on copyrighted work. I saw another comment say that AI companies train in those countries.
