> What's the claim here

The claim is that people use models like stable diffusion, right now. Stable Diffusion was trained on copyrighted data. Lots of AI companies use that. And yet, they are all getting away with it. Only 4 companies are being sued for that.

Also, the claim here is that there are a whole lot of AI companies that are trained on other people's data, that are released publicly on the internet, and they are often made by regular joes.

> now it's a-ok?

People do seem to be getting away with it, seeing as there are only 4 companies that are being sued for this stuff, even though people have been using stable diffusion for 2 years now.

Do you really think that people aren't using stable diffusion? Do you believe that people are not making mario pictures, or copyrighted images? Clearly they are.

And a lot of AI startups, and regular people, train their models on data that they don't own.

> It's like asking me to prove the sky is blue.

If it obviously true, then you'd find more than 4 companies being sued over this stuff. But thats not happening.

Like, did you know that you can just google AI art stuff right now? Any of those models that pop up, right now, was trained on copyrighted data.

Stable Diffusion is used by all sorts of AI companies. And that model was all trained on copyrighted data.

Do you just think that nobody is using stable diffusion? As in, is it completely made up? Nobody is using that?

Clearly people are.

> there's no consequences

Apparently there isn't consequences because only like 4 companies have been sued in 1 lawsuit over this AI stuff.
