This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What's stopping someone from generating an AI script and then saying they wrote it and copyrighting it?
As a person who creates both visual arts and music, though admittedly for my own enjoyment alone, I can't bring myself to ever recognize any of the AI generated stuff as Art. None of it is any good if you look at it close. It's wrong in every way. The machines were supposed to come for our jobs, but that was supposed to mean factory production and construction and shit.
Fuck Corporate America and all it's Bootlicking sellout enablers.
So does a prompt not count as human input Edit: ok so if i train a style lora based on my own style and then prompt the ai to generate artwork , then I still don't deserve the copyright? What if I do all that and then do touchups by hand is that somehow different? I find all this stuff so silly tbh but it is interesting to discuss.
No.
If I'm sitting on the couch and I want sushi, I can open up a website, pick exactly what I want, even maybe make a few substitutions for me specificity, and get it delivered right to my house, but that doesn't mean I made sushi. I just HAVE sushi.
Anyone who has ever actually supported a real artist and commissioned work understands that they don't own the copyright, unless extra agreements have been made to transfer it. It still belongs to the original artist.
And as stated, AI can't own that. So no one does. Who would want to? It's garbled, derivative work and anyone with access to the same prompt and models could generate it themselves, which is why I find the prompt guarding so hilarious. It's all so blatantly dumb and transparent.
Should have figured this would be the judgment when that monkey took a selfie of itself and the ruling was that it was public domain because a human didn't take the shot, and monkies don't have rights.
The question seems to boil down to, should a person that triggers automation that generates output be considered the author of that output and deserve compensation for it?
Does a person who presses "Enter" on a computer deserve "compensation" for that?
Hope: AI gets so good that people using a personal computer can produce full TV series with a single prompt, delare it uncopyrightable, and share the best results online as a alternative to corporate stuff.
Fear: IP law becomes so disconnected from the current situation that it prompts governments start over from scratch. New IP law is written by the corporations for the corporations, and any form of creativity is restricted and monetized.
On one hand, great; will that extent to software development, architecture and other fields?
On the other hand, sounds like the first step to, when AI and androids reach self awareness and conscience, legally keep them enslaved.
