- An AI artist who won a painting contest in Colorado using a Midjourney-generated creation claims he's losing millions of dollars from people ripping off his work.
- The artist claims the US Copyright Office's reluctance to register his AI-generated collection as copyrighted content has left him with the shorter end of the stick, allowing repeated stealing of his work without attribution or compensation.
- His lawyers argue that his prompt engineering and scene-selecting skills should be considered creative input or human authorship, and therefore, be used as grounds for copyright consideration.
