The guy who used Midjourney to create an award-winning piece of AI art demands copyright protections.
Excuse me while I go grab my popcorn.

First off, stop calling him an AI artist.
The term is apparently prompt-fondler now.
Calling someone a prompt “engineer” should be punishable by law.
In general it’s not used for AI artists but rather for developers doing advanced stuff with LLMs such as RAG etc…
meanwhile startups: prompt coder/wizard!
please call them rockstars i want to see them suffer the way real programmers did
It’s literally what they are !
Fun Fact: PE is actually a legally protected title (the P in a real engineer’s title stands for professional)
You can make art using AI. I’ve seen artists use it to clean up line art, color, shade, fill in backgrounds, and more. AI is just a tool. Lots of people only use text prompts, which I agree is hardly controlling, but that is only a single way to interact with AI. You can do a lot with these models.
All this is true, but none of it is relevant to a guy who’s demanding copyright protections and royalties for something Midjourney spat out.
I agree, but I wasn’t sure if this comment was generally anti-AI or understanding of the nuance. For the record, AI scares me.
But…
The AI is the artist!
Not sure what this other guy is doing though.
