A class-action lawsuit has been filed in California against Stability AI, Midjourney, and DeviantArt.
But as the class-action notes, the issue isn't only in how these AIs are trained.
"DreamStudio and other image-generation products charge users per 'generation,' but none of that revenue goes to the artists who created the works those generations are based on. Even if the prompt is 'Dragon in the style of Artist Doe,' Artist Doe is not compensated, nor are they even consulted or told before these products are built on their work.", the makers of DALL-E and ChatGPT.
OpenAI's CEO, who has kept the datasets the company uses quiet, did note at the time that"the data we licensed from Shutterstock was critical to the training of DALL-E." So we're all in agreement that human-made art is critical to AI image generators. So how come artists don't feel fairly compensated for their work?
You can opt-out of having your images included in some datasets, though that doesn't undo the training that's already taken place, nor does it mean you're safe from future scraping. You'd think the obvious answer would be that users instead have to opt-in to be included in any dataset, but that's not been the case with the burgeoning datasets or AI tools out there today.
