My art (images included) was put into this dataset to be used for AI even when I clearly stated I do not want my art used for AI-training at all. Many artists work were included in this dataset, without prior knowledge or even a request despite the fact they own the work included.
No, this repo doesnt contain any image data. the entire contents of this repo is just 1.5GB, which is physically impossible to fit all these images
It is (the bulk of it) a .txt with all the URLs of the images, their addresses. Now HuggingFace actually does load them in its preview, which I didnt expect, but yeah I didnt upload any images

"facilitating scraping of art without permission is against the site's TOS, which this definitely does do, even with no image data" as said before.
It still includes the work they had made. You did not ask permission from the literal creators included in the dataset. DMCA Takedowns are not limited to direct links.
Bro delete this, you are a jerk and I hope you get sued to hell and back. I am pro AI when there is consent, you did not get consent. Remove it and stop being a thief, this does nothing for our community. This was meant for the guy who ripe the site FYI
