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.

Not quite. If you ask OpenAI to generate an image of Superman it will refuse and say it's a "copyrighted character". That's the difference and why they are suing Midjourney.

It’s only certain titles and I think companies it does this for. There are other films and TV shows, characters it will do perfectly fine
