Outrage among artists on X (formerly Twitter) was first provoked by the posting of a Google spreadsheet named 'Midjourney Style List', supposedly retrieved from Midjourney developers during a process of refining the programme's ability to mimic works of specific artists and styles.
The 'scraped' datasets mentioned in the chat are a central feature of the class-action lawsuit, also gaining attention online, which seeks to win compensation from Stability AI, Midjourney and DeviantArt for the non-consensual use of human artists' work in training generative AI programmes.
