Why this petition matters

Started by Ryan Knight
  1. Popular AI Generator programs, models and/or applications such as  ChatGPT, MidJourney, StableDiffusion, DALL-E, Lensa and many others have used unethically scraped copyrighted data from the internet to create digital art and mashed up words. Among the datasets used for this machine learning, are the LAION-5B Datasets which contain over 5 Billion Images, many (if not most) that are Copyrighted material. Many artists are in agreement that this Data was taken without their knowledge or consent. As of this writing, the burden is on the owners of the copyrighted material to opt-out through a very meticulous process on the haveibeentrained.com website, this has been the only recourse provided and many artists do not have the time to find all of their images. Also, many artists believe that even if they opt-out of future datasets, the damage is already done and that this will not change anything since the aforementioned programs, models and/or applications have already been trained on the copyrighted data. Please help us STOP the Nonconsensual Use of Artists' Copyrighted Artwork/Images for AI Generated Art AND help us RESET the data that has already been used so that the aforementioned programs, models, applications (or anything else that uses this data) be re-trained with data that does not violate copyrights. #SupportHumanArtists
