How is ingesting an image, laundering it via a prompt, and then spitting it back out without attribution fair use?

- s1artibartfast 3y agoOne major test used by the Supreme Court is if the work is an economic competitor to the original. Similarly, infringement depends on the use, not object. An image coming out of mid journey may or may not be used in an infringing way. I can download movie stills from Google or midjourney without breaking copyright. If I print and sell posters of them, that is different.
