Midjourney bans Stability AI in data scraping scandal

AI art outfit Midjourney has banned the boffins at Stability AI from using its service amidst accusations of data thievery that caused a system-wide blackout.

According to the Verge the virtual vendetta kicked off with a mysterious outage on 2 March, leaving a gallery of generative images in the dark. Midjourney's sleuths pointed fingers at "botnet-like activity" from none other than Stability AI's employees, sparking an online uproar.

Nick St. Pierre, a Midjourney user spilt the beans on the behind-the-scenes skulduggery to Stability AI CEO Emad Mostaque, who replied on X. Allegedly, a Stability AI staffer was caught red-handed, trying to swipe a treasure trove of prompt and image pairs under the cover of night.
