Does this website search the same dataset as https://knn5.laion.ai ?

Yes, that's the same dataset. This website has some additional tools coming so artists can flag and opt out, or upload to opt in, and we'll get those to the laion team to add or remove from the 5B (and future) datasets.

I'd love to know how this works. I entered my own name for the lols, and it returned mostly paintings of the Cape Winelands in South Africa where I grew up, which is pretty creepy.

It's using openai's clip (https://openai.com/blog/clip/) to find the image similar to your query or image. Clip learned to match images to the captions that were paired with them from images on the web. My best guess would be that there were enough pictures from someone with your name (maybe just last name) that it made that association.

Wow, so I've been trained. Many times over. Photos stolen from my personal portfolio.

It would be a stunning twist of irony if this website uploaded images to a proprietary image dataset used for training AI models, pitching "uncorrelated data"

You mean the portfolio which, by definition to be in that dataset, was marked for indexing by robots.txt, and made available publicly to unauthenticated GET requests on the internet?

You mean my intellectual property that they are now charging to buy credits to rip off with a plagiarism algorithm?
