AI Companies Ask Court to Dismiss Copyright Lawsuit from Artists

Stability AI, Midjourney, and DeviantArt fired back at a group of artists who accused them of committing mass copyright infringement by using the artists' work in generative AI systems. The companies asked a San Francisco federal court to dismiss the artists' proposed class action lawsuit, arguing that the AI-created images are not similar to the artists' work and that the lawsuit did not note specific images that were allegedly misused.
