I'm finding it amusing that everyone immediately assumes infringement, OpenAI is a company that will not be inviting lawsuits.

We can't assume any licensing behind closed doors, my guess is that OpenAI has an agreement with Getty, take a look at the licensing in this Observer piece, it's been licensed by Getty, this would indicate that Getty are happy with scraping.

Besides, this is not infringement in principle, the AI has been trained to think that high-quality news images have watermarks.
