So basically it's datamining existing still-photography/graphic art/2D & 3D renders on search engines? Lol they're not making it out of court, especially because they're already charging for this service.
Now if Shutterstock or Flickr and etc. even got 1% of their users to greenlight using their work for such an engine...
This shyt gonna be the new streaming, they're gonna pay artists based on the "percentage" of an image used in an AI render, which will more than likely amount to micro-cents per AI render, and possibly micro-commission if the user of the service chooses to pay for the commercial rights to the image. You'll make "real" money based on how popular the search criteria is that references your image, which in turn is going to compel human graphic designers to feed the machine with redundant content, just like music streaming
The tech itself is cool but the method being used to generate these renders rn is laughably anti-copyright. For all I know they owe ME money from pulling shyt from my images floating around the net
