Just because a persons picture appears on Wikipedia or others like IMDB doesn't mean it is in the public domain.

In order for you to use a picture of anyone for your own business or even in content you generate yourself, you have to have permission to do so, and usually that means paying for the rights to use that image.

This is true in just about every circumstance. Even a photograph of a person in a movie, where that person did not even act, must be paid for. Any time there is a sound or a sample that is used in any song, that sound or sample has been or should have been paid for too. Look up copyright law to know more about how this works, and about exceptions, etc.

If you distribute any content without permission or rights to do so, you are asking for lots of legal trouble.

But don't take my word for it, just ask your lawyer.

Probably a very smart move by Mindgeek. I'm pretty sure they woudn't want to get into a legal battle with Disney or Universal or MGM.

That fucking sucks. You would think that tube sites would have wanted to work with content creators to get a better handle on this by now.

I don't think you understand how it works. AI "Created" content uses images scraped from Google Image Search. Go to Google Images and enter the name of your favourite celeb, and you will get their images. Find the right angle and images you want and copy-paste them onto a single frame of a video you like, then do it again for the next frame. Lather, rinse, repeat. "Deep Fake" does this and repeats this step thousands of times, with a little filter and cropping thrown in.
