Is it legal though? Article mentioned forbidding the use of crawlers. Besides, it talks a lot how they only link to the image... but that's not how AI works, right? Maybe after incorporating the photo into its weights the model no longer needs the original, but it doesn't seem like an explicitly legal thing.

What this organization is doing is making a database of links to pictures with metadata that includes what is in the pictures. AIs can use this to train. The organization is not using it to train AI nor do they host the image.
