What's "so special" abou this is that Getty is one of the largest single copyright holders in the world and they know the licensing status of every piece of media in their collection, so any AI trained on those images is guaranteed liability-free for their clients."
the monetization schema is bullshit - it looks like the tiktok model where there's a giant pool of money split between all the creators every year with the size of that pool determined by "business growth" (ie in a way that prioritized the business and hands the remains to the creators) PLUS bits of the youtube model of constantly shifting goals and targets to keep planning ability for its creators at a minimum - but if you want to know why this AI that rips off artists is "better" than the rest, that's why.
