Artists Are Suing AI Art generators

So in layman's terms, a leading Class action firm is suing AI art platforms for copyright infringement on artist work cause the platforms trained their AI with artists' works without the consent of the Artists.

The Joseph Saveri Law Firm, LLP- a leading class action firm with offices in California and New York-along with Matthew Butterick, and Lockridge, Grindal, Nauen P.L.P. have filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of a class of plaintiffs seeking compensation for damages caused by Stability AI, DeviantArt, and Midjourney.

The lawsuit alleges direct copyright infringement, vicarious copyright infringement related to forgeries, violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), violation of class members' rights of publicity, breach of contract, and various violations of California's unfair competition laws.
The same legal team is also suing GitHub Copilot, which helps programmers autocomplete code. They're arguing that it needs to provide attribution to the developers who produced the code Copilot was trained on.
