October 19, 2024: Midjourney to Launch AI Image Editing Tool - Midjourney plans to release a new AI tool allowing users to edit web images, retexture objects, and adjust colors using captions. The tool, initially available to a select community group, aims to prevent misuse with human and AI moderation. Concerns arise over potential copyright issues and deepfake proliferation. Deepfakes are increasingly problematic, with a significant rise in incidents affecting social media integrity. Despite past controversies, Midjourney is taking steps to mitigate deepfake spread ahead of the U.S. elections.
