How do you prove that too? Maybe in the future somebody creates a random painting in FuturePaintGAN(TM)+3DCanvasPrinter(TM) that moves millions of people to tears and sells for hundreds of thousands in some auction house. Is that their IP?
What if that person is a monkey[1]? Is it "animal-made art"[2]?

- gwern 8y agoHow do you prove anything to a court about who owns a copyright? You present what evidence you have and marshal what arguments you can, and hope that the person in the right prevails. As your own links indicate, animals have no more copyrights any more than a computer program would because they are not human, and copyright is explicitly granted to human creative efforts.
