Warner Bros. is suing Midjourney for copyright infringement, alleging that Midjourney enables users to create AI-generated images and videos of copyrighted characters like Superman and Bugs Bunny. The lawsuit alleges Midjourney trained its AI system on “illegal copies” of Warner Bros. works and encourages its users to pick iconic characters and create downloaded images and videos of those characters in “every imaginable scene.” Even a generic prompt for the AI tool to produce a “classic comic book superhero battle” will generate high-quality images of DC Studios figures such as Superman, Batman and Flash, according to the lawsuit.
