I would love to have a discussion with the community about the use of public figures (actors, politicians, historical figures, etc). Because I am wondering what everyone thinks about this, as well as where this might end up. Do you think, this will remain available, with these people being paid royalties for appearing in the training data and subsequent generation? Or will this become a hot topic as much as it will be with face swapping and deepfakes and effectively blocked unless you pay a huge amount of money.
I am posting it in this subreddit, because Gemini models do seem to excel at generating these type of images as well as videos. But most others do to (Sora, Grok Imagine, Higgsfield, Kling, etc).
