-> even to images I upload? This is a no go. As a paid subscriber, I would expect to a) not automatically give a license for everything I UPLOAD B) not automatically give a license for content I created myself
The other thing is that they want you to pay to use the generated images commercially - but (as far as we know) purely AI generated images are not subject to copyright, so such licensing restrictions can’t exist.
This doesn't feel right, similar to how it doesn't feel right that the companies are hoovering up copyrighted data. The company has invested in creating a cool product here, and it's reasonable for them to be able to license that work when used commercially.
I can imagine that working for simple things: make a red circle with a blue line under it, because there are many simple examples on the web.
But generating complex SVGs directly from text seems like it wouldn't work at all. The examples on their home page are well into the "too complex to generate by piecing together bits of svg examples seen during training."
I once asked it to create a SVG of Earth and it create a green ellipse on top of a blue circle.
There have been a few attempts (i.e. this recent one [2][3]) to attempt to fine-tune the parameters of the SVG with image segmentation, before comparing rendered outputs with a CLIP model. This is promising but the search space for vector images is just so huge that so far you really need to start with an existing image as a basis rather than starting from scratch. Interesting area of research!

The style transfer is really impressive (watch past the underwhelming first example of the airplane).

The quote is them just asking nicely and clearly to make it accessible.
Not affiliated, but I've used them for a project and I was impressed
When asked what regulations Google is considering when it comes to bringing Bard to Canada, Sebastian cited the Online News Act, which would force tech giants and other companies to pay Canadian news producers for links posted to their platforms
“We’ll bring (Bard) here to Canada very soon as we manage through all the regulatory issues,” Sebastian said.

They also don’t say if they are self-hosting the image generation or rely on an external AI service, which may have an impact on data protection.
Would be interested in some research to see if we can re use something I've done in the pixel domain
it can perceive what is being requested but you need to break down each part in a g statement just like with coding
