    Voyager just loaded a copyrighted image on my phone. Guess someone’s gonna have to sue them too.

      Yeah man, Voyager is making millions with the images on the app. It makes me so mad, they Voyager people make you think they are generating content on their own, but in reality is just feeding you unlicensed content from others.

        You’re completely missing the point. Making money doesn’t change the legality. YouTube was threatened by the RIAA before they even started showing ads. Displaying an image from a copyrighted work on an AI platform is not much different technologically than Voyager or even Google Images displaying the same image, and both could also be interpreted as “feeding you unlicensed content from others.”

          Except that it actually does? That’s the point of copyright laws. The LLM/AIs are using copyright protected material as source without paying for it, and then selling it’s output as "original '.

            Oh! That’s why torrent sites aren’t under constant threat despite hosting tons of free copyright material.

            Hang on… Yes they are!

      I just remembered a copyrighted image. Oops.

      Hey, I bet there were complaints about Google showing image results at some point too! Lol
