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

First off, stop calling him an AI artist.

Calling someone a prompt "engineer" should be punishable by law.

In general it's not used for AI artists but rather for developers doing advanced stuff with LLMs such as RAG etc...

Fun Fact: PE is actually a legally protected title (the P in a real engineer's title stands for professional)

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.
