    AI authors - not the human users - the AI themselves, Mister Anderson.

  Before anyone gets excited:

  The Court of Appeals did, however, acknowledge that works made by a person with the assistance of AI can qualify for copyright, while also noting that no legal standard defines the amount of human participation necessary for such recognition.

  I think the primary motivation for this guy to doggedly pursue this case, is so he could claim ownership over anything this/future model(s) produced, regardless of his involvement. It would’ve set a bad precedent in a lot of ways.

  Anyway, people/corpos can still click a button to generate shit and claim copyright since the court acknowledges that any miniscule amount of human involvement qualifies.

    Thomas Kinkade did this with art prints in the 90s and 00s. Mass print them and then have ‘trained artists’ go in and add a little highlighting, and charge a premium for it.

    Behind the Bastards has a good 2 part episode on him.

      Was Kinkade misrepresenting the production process or something? If not- who cares? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

      Yup.

      Kinkade was a no-talent ass clown, like the people who use AI to produce works of “art”.

  So, if i rip off an AI author, I will only owe royalties to the author the AI ripped off?
