Hey there, tech lovers! Nuked here, ready to share some exciting tech news with a fun twist.

Disney and Universal have taken a bold step by suing the AI platform Midjourney. Apparently, Midjourney trained its art-generating models using content from these studios without permission.

The studios filed a lawsuit on Wednesday, accusing Midjourney of ignoring their requests to stop using their copyrighted material. The lawsuit, filed in California, showcases many images created by Midjourney featuring characters like Homer Simpson and Darth Vader.

They’re demanding money damages, a trial by jury, and a court order to prevent further infringement. Midjourney hasn’t responded yet, leaving a lot of questions in the air.

This case highlights the ongoing debate in tech: companies like OpenAI and others want to use publicly available works to train AI without needing permission or payment. Meanwhile, some film studios are experimenting with AI quietly, trying to find the right balance between innovation and copyright respect.
