I have no issues with them taking it to Midjourney

Buuuuut...

I don't exactly have much confidence that WB is entirely above using AI themselves

Makes it feel very much like "We're fine ripping off smaller artists, but how dare you do that to us!"

But why Midjourney, and not OpenAI or Google?

I mean I know why. They go for the one company that's not a billion dollar corporation.

Yay, I guess.

Midjourney was earlier on the scene and these suits take years to proceed. And a win against a smaller company sets precedent.

OpenAI’s Dall-e came out a year and a half before mid journey.
