Lol the idea that you need consent to look at someone's publicly posted pictures is laughably wrong.
View is not the same as "use in a commercial enterprise to turn a profit". Only a fool would think that's the same thing.
This. Anyone can view content online.
Training a visual model off those images requires feeding those images into a model, and that is not the terms under which you originally viewed them.
It's why OpenAI is currently facing tons of lawsuits it may legitimately lose in court.
Probably not though, they can just settle and pay a fee. Deep pockets.
You're allowed to video tape in public for profit. Do we consider paying photos online to be public?
You're allowed to take videos in public, yes. but someone can't then steal that video and use it for just any purpose.
There's a clear distinction
It's more like it you put it on your porch and say "free take a copy".
Usually if someone was caught in video they don't want to be in decent folks will at least blur their face, good people will blur the faces of strangers without being asked.
What corporations are doing is exploitive and downright greedy. Most of what's been posted was done before this AI issue was even a thought.
It's not hard to be decent towards others. It really isn't and this AI bullshit is the worst possible application anyone could've come up with.
Not of children. You have to get written permission from their parents -- or you used to, at least.
