obvious approach for corporations is to simplify the math.
the model is made from X images, from Y artists, each artist has a percent contribution to the total. between 0 and 100 percent.
so each time money is generated by the model, the contributors get their share.
as a bonus, it is easy to understand how that share was derived. so it is implicitly fair.
(please keep in mind that this “artist’s share” will be a percentage of the net revenue generated, and that this percentage will probably be a trade secret or some such.)
(any works from artists unable to be paid, meaning public domain or otherwise, will be handled by the corporation for the continuous and never-ending improvement of the platform that makes it all possible.)

- catchnear4321 3y agobecause the corporation made the math simple. simple is fair, and honest, an honesty we can all understand.
- araes 3y agoAnd of course simple math is fair, which is why I have submitted millions of images to Getty Images in massive waves, because of course such a fair algorithm will find your image among my stack of millions. And when we grind out compensation, I get 1,000,000/1,000,001 and you get 1/1,000,001. Because of course I would never game your fair algorithm.

- catchnear4321 3y agomodern problems require modern solutions. a company could always train a model on what constitutes a low value or malicious image. submissions get screened by the bouncer before going on to integration with the commercial model. throw in a submission fee, and enough of the malicious submissions will be stopped to plausibly call this solved. plus, new cash stream.
