These companies are probably hoping the artists win as many legal battles as they can, since the result will be that only big companies will be able to create useful AI models.</text></comment>

If Getty&amp;#x27;s the rights holders for these images they can use that by training their own models.&lt;p&gt;In my mind, OpenAI&amp;#x2F;Midjourney&amp;#x2F;Stable Diffusion are the Napsters of generative AI. Adobe Firefly, and now Getty, are coming up with the iTunes Store&amp;#x2F;Spotify. For better or worse.</text></comment>
