Training AI with DAZ-Characters?

Fantozzi

Can I train text to Image AI with DAZ figures and Daz poses? Are there legal issues? Isn't it easier to pose a DAZ character instead of searching for copyright free pictures on the net?

In the EULA it states "the Content License expressly excludes the use, incorporation, or input of any Content, in whole or in part, in connection with i) any AI engine, program, or system (including, without limitation, Image.ai, Nightcafe, Artbreeder, chatGPT, Shutterstock, DALL-E 2, Deep Dream Generator, Hotpot ai, DeepAI) with capabilities or instructions to auto-generate materials that are derivative, imitative, or otherwise plagiaristic of the Content; and ii) any activity contrary to the intended use of the Content License, or otherwise to circumvent the terms, restrictions, or safeguards applicable to this Content License. For the purposes of this EULA, "AI" means any method of artificial intelligence such as deep learning, neural networks, or any other similar technologies intended to consume and analyze content for the intent of auto-generating new content."

 I will note that in the EULA "content" refers to the actual products and not to the user-generated images (which they call "Two dimentional works.") I am sure a lawyer could argue it either way, but I would personally shy away from using 2D works that include Daz assets to train AI as it could allow the AI to generate images using, say Victoria 9 without a user owning the asset.

DAZ is actually selling its own version trained on its assets, but doesn't show a price which means we likely cannot afford it

see my thread asking about it and your question

the consensus is one can train one's own LoRA on one's own computer using one's own renders not content or promo pictures etc

for ones own use, not to redistribute the LoRa just the images you produce
