Getty images has started to sell ai generated content so I’d assume they’ve vetted the legal side of things. But they’re shady so not sure - just another data p

  Getty (like Adobe) has their own image generator trained on images they own. If the courts decide that other AI image generators violate copyright, then Getty and Adobe will be the big winners. https://www.gettyimages.com/ai/generation/about https://www.gettyimages.com/ai/generation/about

    So torn by this, I hate both outcomes (AI copyright laundering is legal, companies can just plunder any images not kept behind a paywall OR adobe/getty win).

      What's wrong about what Adobe or Getty did? They trained on content they obtained the rights to. Ostensibly they did everything right.

        They're large incumbents and what they did isn't within reach for smaller competitors, so you establish a law that favors large corporations. Also, the creators presumably never specifically agreed to have their content used as AI training data and might rather object to that because then they have to compete with the AI generated content going forward. Which is the thing the creators don't want -- it isn't going to do them any more good just because they got a past payment which they'd have gotten regardless. What they want is for AI generated art to not exist, but that isn't going to happen. Given that, it doesn't do them any good to legitimize Getty or Adobe but not Midjourney etc.
