Pretty fucking bold of these scientists to scrape one of my copyrighted photographs off the internet and then re-release it uncredited under a Creative Commons license because they used it for training data for an algorithm.

Using copyrighted images to train algorithms is a kind of grey area, and I can see some decent arguments in favor of either.

But you can't act as someone else's agent and distribute their work without permission.

@alexwild given the way that image AI can be used to generate new works you can make an argument that no AI uses -especially data training- should be allowed without explicit rights being agreed.
