Sounds like that guy is welcome to go fuck himself.

I would love to know how he calculated those several million dollars.

He worked so hard typing that 3 lines of prompt...

Ah you see, his mistake was he made it fungible, he should have made it non fungible. That way he would have been protected!

He should copy right into the local pond.

Funny how that works.

He should take a photograph of it, then he could copyright that.

complaining that he's losing money to the tune of "several million dollars" because, without a copyright, his work is being used without his approval

Losing millions of dollars? ah yeah I'm sure people are lining up to buy prints of your art bro, trust

I just made a song about pocket face

Pa pa pa pa pocket face!

Lady Gaga has not reached for comment.

He sounds like everything that's wrong with the current generations of self-entitled degenerates. Doing as little as possible and expecting to be rewarded with piles of gold. Taking other people's hard labour and then run away with it, the only one deserving of a prize is whoever put those image generator together, it's not AI in my eyes, but it is an actual technical accomplishment.

I'm of the opinion that "AI" generated images can be art, but the art is in a real person selecting and giving meaning to it, not in the process the image came to be.

Artist gonna artist. Some things never change.
