While playing around with #midjourney, I found something very "interesting":

Midjourney adds *watermarks* to images.

Example in the upper right. Am I correct to assume that Midjourney might have used sources that explicitly forbid reuse?

@kfj or they accidentally added the wrong image version into production?

@miss_jwo you mean they have bought images from stock photo marketplaces, but added the watermarked version to the learning set?

@kfj lol yea.

I may/ may not be talking from experience.
