Oh wow, I was looking at that football image for far too long, not being entirely certain they’re close enough to prove they scraped Getty’s images. That watermark is pretty clear, though. 🙃

This lawsuit is not about protecting artists like the other ones, it’s instead that SD used 12 million Getty images in their training model without paying Getty. It’s a much stronger case with much smaller repercussions for AI.

Honestly, a red herring article.
