the big dataset fetcher officially respects the tag! but you have to pass an option on the command line to turn on respecting the tag. and also it doesn't respect it by default, "for reproducibility."
this worked out about as well as I expected.

Kinda gross of the repo maintainer to try and say stealing images is more ethical than having less images to base models off of.
Realistically speaking, there is such a thing as too much data when creating these models and saying you need all of it screams of "I don't know what I need so I'm just going to grab everything and hope I get a good outcome."
Am I understanding the brain damage at play here that they finally relented TO a "you are opted in by default" system? Like you have to explicitly say you don't want your images used for AI, but what they WANTED, was a system that ignored trying to opt out of a system, by default.
"artists who don't want their art used are harming the democratization of skills and art don't you know?
why people who can't draw are expressing themselves with AI for the first time so not letting the model train on opted out art is ableist" -these jokers, apparently
