Very predictable and unsurprising. Stability knew they needed a license for training on Getty's copyrighted images given the presence of their watermark. OpenAI partnered with Shutterstock for that case with DALL-E to avoid this legal headache.
The fair use excuses here are absolutely weak in Stability's case and this will only end with a licensing deal being made.

- surfacedetail 3y agoI know, I'm a lawyer. Fair dealing is closed-ended, and the TDM exception doesn't apply to StabilityAI as they're not a research institution, their best defence is that the training didn't take place in the UK, or that any copies were transient.
