Not sure how runway policies play out, but some AI companies have been trying to shift the blame of unlicensed training data on whoever uses their models, meaning you must check whether the content you generate was properly licensed, that's ultimate level bullshit

Apparently they were sued for scraping YouTube content and using pirated movies for training their models, I could be wrong on that, did a quick search without fact-checking

> What can it do without becoming a legal liability?
A lot of tiny things like what you mentioned, generating partial or complete scenes, camera cuts that'd be too hard with an actual camera, ambient objects to fill some background.

> Where their data comes from???
Hard to know, I'm not particularly familiar with models made by Runway, but it's certainly not just Lionsgate data, that'd be too little data for a model. The question is, for the remaining data, is it properly licensed? I'm not too optimistic on that

> What AIs are being used?
At this point I assume its some kind of generative AI, possibly with the common transformer architecture. From the Runaway ML website it seems it's an existing model that's post-trained with Lionsgate data.
