The guy who used Midjourney to create an award-winning piece of AI art demands copyright protections.

You can make art using AI. I've seen artists use it to clean up line art, color, shade, fill in backgrounds, and more. AI is just a tool. Lots of people only use text prompts, which I agree is hardly controlling, but that is only a single way to interact with AI. You can do a lot with these models.

All this is true, but none of it is relevant to a guy who's demanding copyright protections and royalties for something Midjourney spat out.

I agree, but I wasn't sure if this comment was generally anti-AI or understanding of the nuance. For the record, AI scares me.
