Over the weekend, Eric Bourdages, the Lead Character Artist on the popular video game Dead by Daylight, urged his followers to create and sell merchandise using the Disney-inspired images he created using Midjourney. “Someone steal these amazing designs to sell them on Mugs and T-Shirts, I really don’t care, this is AI art that’s been generated,” Bourdages wrote. “Legally there should be no recourse from Disney as according to the AI models TOS these images transcends copyright and the images are public domain.”

As I already explained previously, this guy is an idiot and doesn't know how copyright works. The "AI" software is just a tool, and he used that tool to deliberately infringe a copyright. It's no different than if you used photoshop to make disney shit and then claimed that Disney had to sue Adobe. Nope. Disney would sue YOU. The software isn't at fault.
