" Releasing our first Spawning tool to help artists see if they are present in popular AI Art training data, and register to use our tools to opt in and opt out of AI training

I think we have created a way to make this work out well for everyone"

I just uploaded a picture of my dog (Bichon Frise) and it showed me a bazillion nearly exact similar dogs. Why isn't this immediately being used as a missing persons (or pet) database service?

Let's think of reasons!

1) Privacy.

2) Lack of geolocation data associated.

3) Privacy.

4) Lack of contact information attached.

5) Privacy.

6) Lack of case numbers for various missing persons cases being attached.

7) Privacy.

Because you're missing a person, not a picture of them?

I think that you answered your own question. You uploaded a picture of your non-missing dog and it found many very similar looking dogs.

It's surprising how poorly labeled these images are; who is curating this collection?

Can't they crowd-source a proper labeling project - I wonder how much better things like Stable Diffusion would be if its training would include correct, complete labels for the images. I'm sure lots of folks would willingly spend a few minutes here and there to aid with the labeling if it means they get to enjoy the model for free.
