Dataset payout

Just wondered when the last dataset payout was, as I opted out quite some time back. Curious to know if anyone was getting anything from dataset sales, if so how often and have the payouts gone down.

No dataset sales this year so far.

waiting for it, i hope it comes soon

I hope so, it would be nice if someone from Pond5 could update us.

I guess most of the big AI companies now have enough data and so may not really need to keep scraping more. While on the subject of AI I see a problem with AI music, which I guess many others have thought about. That is if music is created by AI then an another AI company comes along and scrapes that data, and so on. You will end up with AI music sounding like a load of mush, which a lot of it already does. This will result in music created by real people with real instruments being much sought after and commanding a realistic price for the time, effort and imagination that goes into it.
