Artists' lawsuit against generative AI makers can go forward, judge says (techcrunch.com)

A class action lawsuit filed by artists who allege that Stability, Runway and DeviantArt illegally trained their AIs on copyrighted works can move forward, but only in part, the presiding judge decided on Monday. In a mixed ruling, several of the plaintiffs’ claims were dismissed while others survived, meaning the suit could end up at trial. That’s bad news for the AI makers: Even if they win, it’s a costly, drawn-out process where a lot of dirty laundry will be put on display. And they aren’t the only companies fighting off copyright claims — not by a long shot.

do you want more information? Do not click on the link. The one paragraph summary on lemmy is the entire article. One paragraph. This is how bad journalism has gotten in Starmer's America.
