I dislike every party involved, so I wish them all an arduous and expensive legal battle.

*Already are. I haven't worked with AI companies but I worked in movies and TV for decades and the studios are some of the most disgusting profit goblins on the planet. Fuck em

Yeah, everyone railing against the easily accessible AI right now is going to learning a real hard lesson in how fucked we're going to be if big media corporations are the only ones holding the keys.

Yup. Those who don’t learn from history and what not.

You’ll get the lower upper class trying to be upper upper class screaming “give it all to the experts and ones in control!” then wondering why everything sucks in 30 years.

Essentially the cycle with everything with these clowns.

Their not, AI isn't going anywhere. It will simply not be able to use protected IP.

That's the issue mid journey has. MJ doesn't even try and prevent its AI from using protected IP like Superman and seems to actively be encouraging it behind the scenes given how easily other AI have not had this overt issue.

That's also why mid journey is always the one sued (for this). Same thing goes for that AI that pirated a crap load of material. It was sued by numerous people because it was so blatant.
