I swear when I see this argument because it makes me angry.
You’re right, but they didnt, because they were too lazy and cheap to do it that way.
…and that’s why people are angry, and rightly so. Fully licensed models are the future, and it’s both irritating and disappointing that we are where we are right now because the people training these models were too lazy to assemble a training dataset that wasn’t problematic (ie. full of porn and copyrighted material).
You can argue the “but at the end of the day it’s all the same…” argument if you like, but clearly from the lawsuits it isn’t ok
They’ve completely messed it up.
There’s a reason the openai api terms of service says that “the Content may be used to improve and train models”; they’re setting themselves up to have a concrete defence for the source training data for their models.
Good job.
Stability can burn in a fire. They’ve really trashed the reputation of generative AI in a way that is going to be very difficult to recover from.
No one outside some artists is going to give a fuck about the legality. Joe Schmuck out there is too busy either not knowing this exists or making funny pictures of Han Solo eating a banana on a toilet made from the skin of Yoda.
That reputation damage you think matters doesn’t exist.
This is the only issue I have with generative image models. I'd be using them myself right now but I'm too disgusted by how the sausage is made. Once the first licensed, properly sourced models are out, they will get my money or time.
