Vastly inappropriate comparison- there are millions of pages of text out of copyright, you can get a good translation engine using public domain.

That’s is not the case for art, vast majority of art used by midjourney is not public domain.

Is that true? How did you establish that?

It's unfortunately also not great for translation. Language changes fast enough that training on content that went out of copyright is old data.

OpenAI has basically admitted it. Is OpenAI even disputing that it ingested all the works its being sued over? Not as far as I can tell.

Huh? You’re aware that midjouney and OpenAI are different things, right?
