awesome project, might not last long if server costs arise. but where are the images from ? scraped or self generated? how can i make sure that they are not copyrighted?

Completely obvious they are generated. Just zoom in on anything that has text and it’s easy to notice.

The images are generated, but the training set may be argued or not that they had some rights attached, even it they were the ones that the social network where they were posted and scrapped from had.

There are is money to be made in a way or another, same with music, wouldn’t be surprised if this kind of projects get hit directly or indirectly because of this.

I'm working on a golf startup atm, so this is relevant.

These are certainly generated, as virtually every golf club has an insane and unworkable head, just like Midjourney. AI doesn't seem to focus on that level of detail. Take this one for example which would launch the ball somewhere into the sun: https://stockcake.com/i/golf-swing-action_656275_515716

Others look something like a soup plate attached to a stick, and it is common to see right handed players using left handed clubs.

that's quite an uncomfortable pose, makes me feel similar to stock photos of someone holding a soldering iron like it's a pencil

machine generated works cannot be copyrighted, but its a legal gray area as to whether creating the images violates copyright (in my opinion it is not fair use, as it displaces the market value of the work it is a derivative of)

I'm no golf expert but I don't think this is how you do it

They have some very specific niches covered though, such as "soldier petting a dog with both right hands"

And "cat space adventure, wait, oh god we accidentally overfitted the model on dogecoin memes"
