Midjourney, other AI devs strike back in court, claiming their material is not similar to artists
Midjourney, Stability AI and DeviantArt issued a response on April 18 to a group of artists who accused them of extensive copyright infringement. The artists claimed that these companies had used their work in generative artificial intelligence systems without proper authorization.
The companies filed their motions in a San Francisco federal court seeking the dismissal of the proposed class-action lawsuit brought by the artists. They contended that the AI-generated images were dissimilar to the artists’ work and that the lawsuit lacked specific information about the allegedly misused photos.
