"Disney and Universal sued a prominent artificial intelligence start-up for copyright infringement on Wednesday, bringing Hollywood belatedly into the increasingly intense battle over generative A.I.

The movie companies sued Midjourney, an A.I. image generator that has tens of millions of registered users. The 110-page lawsuit contends that Midjourney “helped itself to countless” copyrighted works to train its software, which allows people to create images (and soon videos) that “blatantly incorporate and copy Disney’s and Universal’s famous characters.”

“Midjourney is the quintessential copyright free-rider and a bottomless pit of plagiarism,” the companies said in the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.
Midjourney did not respond to requests for comment.

A.I. start-ups like Midjourney, which was introduced in 2022, train their software with data scraped from the internet and elsewhere, often without compensating creators. The practice has resulted in lawsuits from authors, artists, record labels and news organizations, among others. (The New York Times has sued OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, for copyright infringement. OpenAI and Microsoft have denied those claims, saying their actions fall under “fair use.”)"

¡YA ERA HORA! Disney y Universal se despertaron de la siesta y demandan a la empresa de IA generativa, Midjourney, por infracción a los derechos de autor 🔥

La demanda presentada en el Tribunal de Distrito de Los Ángeles por Disney Enterprises, Marvel, Lucasfilm, 20th Century, Universal City Studios Productions y DreamWorks Animation, describe a Midjourney, dirigida por David Holz, como «la quintaesencia del parasitismo de los derechos de autor y un pozo sin fondo de plagio»

If #AI were good … companies would [not be forcing] us to use it.

Very good point. The objective is to reduce labor costs, that is, to fire all knowledge and tech workers. It's not that it is better, it is that it is cheaper. Of course, this completely misses the point that someone has to generate the knowledge, the #writing, the images, as well as the raw #science data upon which to train the AIs, which requires people with experience doing the work.

This will not end well.

Casually using generative AI gives its progenitors the numbers they need to justify their mad expansion. Please abandon these tools and let's return to a time when we think up our own ideas, assemble physical and digital materials that allow the greatest possible expression, and make something that tells the world who we are.
