Midjourney is a subscription image-synthesis service and community that allows its users to submit written descriptions called prompts to an AI model that generates new images based on them. The lawsuit describes San Francisco-based Midjourney as a "bottomless pit of plagiarism" that enables users to generate what the studios call "AI slop"—personalized images of copyrighted characters. According to the filing, users can simply type prompts like "Darth Vader at the beach" and receive "high quality, downloadable" images featuring Disney's copyrighted character.
