Does Pollinations do a good job of crediting the artists and designers whose work has be used for training data?

  We're giving free access to a model that other people trained on other people's data. The code for all improvements or tweaks is accessible in public repositories. From a copyright perspective, I think one can make a fair use argument. Nevertheless, it would be great to credit artists and designers whose work was used for training. Practically, it's not easy because I think one would have to credit humanity. Every image in the training data influenced the model's output to a certain degree, so one would have to credit every person who uploaded an image to a public place. One could argue that a model should not be trained on public data in the first place because we can't fairly credit all individuals who contributed to it.

    Well good luck finding sympathy for having people copy your stuff.
