How is it even remotely legal for Shutterstock to cash in on something that photographers never gave consent for? OpenAI is mindblowingly unethical.

Shutterstock was started in 2003.

Your notions of ethics are obsolete. You can’t stop ai. And yes it’s bad news. But also it’s inevitable.

Our legal system's idea of intellectual property wasn't designed for and had no way of knowing what it means to use a copyrighted work as 'training data'. Sadly it still has no protections and even there were, it's no clear how it would be enforced.

What do you mean, never gave consent for? I helped a friend put their photos on there, and they most definitely did consent to practically anything.
