That "an online AI art tool" in the first sentence is potentially misleading, as the clarification is being made in this article, but this clarification was not made by the artist at the time.
He said (in the Midjourney Discord) that when submitting he "stated that he made them via Midjourney", but it sounds like he didn't make clear that this was an AI tool.

Yes the description clearly stated I created them via Midjourney

Was it explained what Midjourney was though

This is why I did it. Should I have explained what Midjourney was? If so, why?
He also mentions that he originally mentioned Midjourney in the caption, but didn't correct them when they edited that part out.
I think these sorts of details do matter.
- YetAnotherNick 4y agoEven though is intentionally deceiving, he didn't broke any rule.
- Jarmsy 4y agoI'm not sure I'd even call it intentionally deceiving, just a significant omission. I think it is part of why some people were annoyed though - it's obviously a bit more nuanced than the headline suggests, and not all a bunch of luddites totally against the use of AI in art. The specifics matter - some people found particular aspects of how this person went about it annoying.
