Midjourney runs a diffusion model that you can ask to generate pictures. Disney and Universal and several other movie studios have sued because Midjourney keeps spitting out their copyrighted chara…
“Elsa” does not feature in “The Snow Queen”. The kids in that story are Kai who gets abducted by the Snow Queen and Gerda who rescues him after a long journey which she manages by being good and very, very Christian. It’s also pretty racist, though tame by European 19th century standards. I don’t know who made up Elsa, but I guess they had long signed over their rights to Disney.
As the purpose of the system is what it does, the purpose of copyright is to centralise ownership and control. But then again that is also the purpose of the AI bubble. So they will fight, and the public is likely to lose.
