I am waiting for the next brilliant stage of this plan... where we set up a fund to compensate all the artists whose work was used to train the artists that generated the art to train the AI. Every artist that registers for the Shutterstock compensation plan will submit a list of every artist whose worked they studied, talked about, obtained inspiration from, or even viewed. When they get compensated from the fund, a portion of their compensation will be transferred to the artists or estates of the artists on their list. For artists no longer with us with no estates the funds will be donated to the EFF.
I haven't figured out how to compensate the artists that trained the artists that trained the artists that trained the AI. This gets 'meta' pretty fast.
