If you want to see what kind of images are being scraped from the open web (and where they're scraped from), check out the browser I'm working on for LAION aesthetics.

i feel like being known as an AI-artist is kind of a gimmick, (why not just "artist"?) even moreso if all you're doing is prompting someone else's models but idk, maybe it's the right kind of irony for the contemporary art world

@ShayneRedford My thoughts are that web scraping is in violation of most everyone's Terms of Service, which OpenAI does not respect.
It's not just a violation of Youtube's ToS. Scraping is a ToS violation on nearly all major platforms. @nealmohan is just the first to mention it in awhile. @alexjc wrote a python library to parse ToS verbiage and found most platforms prohibit scraping

@tilmanbayer @simonw This is the eminent domain argument -- that the property rights of creators is of little value (to the public) compared to what AI services offer. But I tend to agree with Ed on this. If the training data has value, there will be a market for licensing.

@saudhashimi @RnaudBertrand OpenAI wants to enforce their own Terms of Service, while violating everyone else's.
