Three months after Disney and Universal sued Midjourney, Warner opens a new front.

      You could be talking about either company here. I’m no fan of AI but you know this will set precedent for scummy companies like Warner Brothers to over reach into other things for “copyright reasons”.

          Techdirt has covered this kinda thing for decades. Being familiar with their work I am confident no good will come of a Warner Brothers Discovery win in court. It absolutely won’t protect individual artists. It may even have the opposite effect of causing Gen AI models to avoid corporate art and only use art of individual creators who can’t afford to sue.

          Maybe the best we can hope for is a private settlement that sets no precedent.
