Is it? I have no knowledge of this product, but I recall Novel AI paid for a database of tagged Anime style images. Its not impossible for something similar to have happened here.

If you believe NovelAI is only trained on legally acquired content, I have a bridge to sell you.

The argument they made, at least for the 1.0 of their image model, is that the database of images they purchased was heavily tagged reducing the work they had to do.

That isn't to say that they purchased everything they have ever used. Nor do I care if they have.

That wouldn’t change the fact that the images are copyrighted material.
