So I'm wondering if CivitAI has or would be willing to release some open data. I think it would be fascinating to see some basic statistics, make some tag clouds, etc. I understand this is CAI's life blood, but hey, just show us what you want us to see. For starters.
Why would CAI do this? Well, I think there are some tremendous opportunities here, and CAI is perhaps in a unique position to create these opportunities and also benefit from them. Just one for instance, CAI has to be a psychologist's/sociologist's dream, all these people literally making their dream images, with very little restraint or oversight. How many images? How many images per user? How many NSFW? How many unicorns? I'm sure the right minds could ask some enlightening questions.
So how about it, CAI? Can you spare a little data?
Bonus: In case you missed it, and practically everyone did, I posted a while ago about some questions regarding SD, AI, ML, XYZ. Well, I received an amazing response from someone who seems to be a real heavy hitter in the field. Shed a lot of light on these topics, I mean I could study this response for weeks and not reach full understanding as I don't have the necessary education, but there it is, all laid out for us.

To be clear, this is not my image. They must be rendering on an Eagle-class or such. (2080 TI. Wow. Never seen a render like that.)
