Midjourney is pushing for discovery into how the film studios suing it for copyright infringement use generative AI tools internally, arguing the practice undermines their own legal position.
The move is a notable defense strategy shift — turning the litigation's attention toward the plaintiffs' own AI usage rather than only defending Midjourney's training practices.
