Great point, when using the API the photos used to train and generate photos are provided by the customer, and they must have the correct permissions to use them

Am I correct to read that as "we didn't"?

If you make a tool that makes copyright infringement easy, and you demonstrate infringing use in order to market it, you're really asking for trouble.

If you care about your startup and its survival, I strongly suggest you focus your marketing on legitimate B2B use cases and avoid showing off how great it is at making deepfakes. It's one thing to turn a blind eye to misuse of your technology and a whole different thing to explicitly promote misuse as a product feature.

Seriously, Gandhi had given permission to generate the photos on the website :). On one hand, openAI trains its data on copyrighted material. Now YC has funded this startup. A significant number of readers have rightly pointed out Copyright issues and the founders are saying it is up to customers and all those answers have been rightfully downvoted. I don't know what else to say here. How could this point be overlooked? If I had permission from the celebrity I would have taken a photo too. Then what is the need for this.

That misses the point that was being asked which was about the celebrity photos and not the user photos.

By customer I mean our own customer (a business) and not the end user
