Disney and Universal are suing AI image tool Midjourney for allegedly using famous characters without permission. Hollywood’s not playing nice.
🚨Breaking News:
The studios want a jury trial, calling Midjourney a “bottomless pit of plagiarism” for AI-generating Pixar, Marvel & Simpsons characters.
⚡Wire Simplified:
Midjourney allegedly created images using copyrighted characters like Toy Story and Shrek.
Disney & Universal sent warnings but got ghosted.
Midjourney made $300M last year despite complaints.
