    To me the obvious answer would be to pay people a small amount per photo for pictures of various things and then use that as training data.

      That’s expensive and companies would rather not pay while the law is unclear on using copywrited images in a training set

        The thing is that for medium to large companies it’s probably less expensive to pay people a nominal fee for pictures than it would be to risk being sued by, say, Disney, Nintendo, WWE or Games Workshop (to use some famously litigious companies).

          I hope that’s the direction we head that way artists are appropriately compensated for their work. We’ll see entire libraries/brokers pop up that grant LLM makers access to work for a fee.
