This is a site where you should upload your image to see if it has been used without your permission to train AI image generators.
A new website now lets photographers see if their images have been used to train AI image generators.
Tools that are currently used to automatically generate images based on the use of artificial intelligence are growing in popularity, although some content creators seem to be unhappy.
Why? Many photographers, for example, see how their photos, with copyright, are being used by these robots to create other photos from that, which is clearly illegal, and they intend to amend this for a future where these tools are used for advertising, for example.
“Have I Been Trained,” as this site is called, was created to verify online whether your photos are being used to train an artificial intelligence.
This site, created by a group of artists who call themselves Spawning, looks at the LAION-5B training dataset, a library of 5.85 billion images, that powers these tools. It’s a fun technique to play with, but it can help give you a glimpse into the data that AI uses as a base.
To create LAION-5B, bots piloted by the researchers crawled through millions of sites, including large image repositories like Getty, Flickr, Pinterest, and others. They collected millions of copyrighted images without permission.
As you can see in the image above, users can search text using keywords that might spark their work, or they can directly upload a photo they've taken to see if it's used in AI training.
