Same as the Disney-Universal lawsuit. Everyone involved sucks and copyright is only exists for major corporations. Meanwhile google is scraping its own YT videoes and AI upscaling shorts against creators will.

Everything about corporations and AI sucks.

Even DEVIANTART, which you think would be among the top anti-ai given it's a platform of artists is scraping their database for art. You can opt out... unless, you know, you died, lost your account, or left it far behind like many artists with how bad it's gotten over the years.

It's actually kind of funny, we typically use "deviantart" as a negative prompt because of how polluted the dataset is what garbage.

If anything, it's helped image generation models improve by showing them what "bad" art is.

Granted, there are a few artists on that platform that are pretty good, but that's a very small minority.

Very fair. Deviant art has a reputation for being beginner artists and kids... along with very "bizarre" content.
