Cool. Ugly ass Ai trash

The article says that he could have copyrighted the work if he disclaimed the AI generated source images in his application. The collage he created is copyrightable but he can’t claim copyright on the source images because they were not created by a human. If someone were to take his collage, he’d still be protected.

What’s significant about this is that this means that you can’t simply copyright an image you had ai generate from a prompt, there needs to be some kind of transformation, and if someone else got ahold of the original AI image before transformation they could use it freely as public domain.

Am I the only one that think the longue they reject it, the more it will participate to it’s story behind, and make it worth more and more, and make it more and more “outrageous” and continue etc to make it have more worth?

US has a shitty copyright system. Got it.

We’re gonna have some juicy legal battles when Hollywood start leveraging generative AI more and more
