“This isn’t going to stop,” Allen told the New York Times. “Art is dead, dude. It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.”

"But I still want to get paid for it."

It's probably a safe bet that this AI artist was also a NFT artist or procurer a few years ago.

In 2021 I made a sound installation project called "Opéra Spatial " and entered a bunch of public prompt in mid-jouney via discord to generate images for the work. This guy made his image on year later.

I’m not convinced he is not playing 4D chess and recognizes the huuuge irony.

Then again, satire is dead.

They forgot to put "Artist" in quotes too

Get a real job

One of the very firest things I looked into when I learned about midjourney was look into the copyright matters pertaining to Ai generated art. Saw that it's not really copyrightable, and then started using the search feature on their discord to find prompts by others for the junk I wanted.

I love how they quoted “famous”

What a fuckin tool, for real

He cannot copyright it because he didn't make it. He wrote a couple of words into a text box. It's no different from commissioning an artist to draw for you, except in this scenario it is analogous to the artist turning out to be someone who traces other people's art without their consent, and claiming you made the picture.

Bit melodramatic. Even the real artists that midjourney actually stole from don't claim to have lost millions individually as a result.

He needs to take a photograph of it and then copyright the photograph. Easy!
