[QUOTE="Art Waring, post: 9079951, member: 7037141"] Well, I guess this is an agree to disagree, as we both have our own perspectives on the matter. For me the primary question I pose is what should be done with ai-tools that seek to use non-commercial datasets like LAION to create content for commercial purposes. I think that ethically, giving credit & some form of compensation for use of an artists work should be addressed. And that's totally cool by me. Anything in the public domain should be available for anyone to use. Training AI on data solely in the public domain however, has yet to be a precedent.
