Getty Images bans AI-generated content over fears of copyright claims
Reading between the lines of this, it sounds to me like Getty is preparing a copyright claim against the AI companies:<p>1. They seem of the opinion that the copyright question is open.<p>2. Their business stands to lose substantially as a result of such models existing.<p>3. It would be a bad look for them to make a claim whilst simultaneously accepting works from the models into Getty.<p>4. At least some of their watermarked content seems to have been included in the training data of the OpenAI model: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32573523" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32573523</a><p>If I&#x27;m correct about that, they will probably not settle, as their business was likely worth substantially more than any feasible settlement arrangement.
