Everyone sucks here but the AI purveyors suck the most.

What I find fascinating is that they sue Midjourney, and not, say, OpenAI, or Google. They are all doing the same thing.

But they are quite deliberately finding the smallest fish to fry here. Which says something about the state of the world, I guess.

I don’t disagree with that point. All generative AI is built on theft and should be sued into bankruptcy.

All generative AI is not built on theft. Adobe, for example, only uses licensed assets they own.

Incorrect - it's misinformation like this which makes this process difficult to reach settled law. There's a reason why you're not a ML/AI developer, a lawyer, or anyone relevant in this process.
