>Shutterstock claims it will pay artists whose work is included in its Al generation. Shutterstock will do this through a "Contributor Fund. The fund will "directly compensate Shutterstock contributors" if their IP is used to develop Al-generative models, such as the OpenAl model, through licensing data from Shutterstock's database.

This is good in concept, but did they ask all contributors for permission? I could see this being a disaster financially for independent photographers/artists. Imagine going from selling several hundred images a day to you "contributing to an AI" several hundred times a day and making pennies. I predict this will end poorly.
