Comment on So Far, AI Is a Money Pit That Isn't Paying Off

And that the stuff they produce *isn't copyright-able.

Even if that were true, is there no value in public domain art resources?

Not to the companies looking to use AI.

Exhibit A, Disney, a giant megacorp whose most famous works are literally founded on public domain material.
Bear in mind that public domain is not like a copyleft license, it's not "viral." If I make a movie and the Mona Lisa shows up in it, that movie is still copyright to me even though there's a public domain element in it. It's even easier with unique AI-generated stuff because you can't even tell what's public domain and what isn't.

Something has to be ownable to be public domain. AI produced items are un-ownable, since the AI is the owner, but it can't own them since it's a legally a "tool".
