It’s going to be insanely hard to copyright anything produced by AI. Especially now that generative models are widely available/in use. The possibility of multiple instances of the same output being produced (as a whole, or in parts) is high.
All you have to do is set the temperature low and the generative models will start producing repeatable results.
All of a sudden, copyrighting GitHub Copilot supported source code is not so straightforward anymore. How does one distinguish the human authorship in a function from that generated by AI?
Interesting times we live in. In a way, this may lead to less regulation/more openness. Equal opportunity for all. At least one can hope.
- jay_kyburz 4y agoI like to watch people play with Midjourney in the public Discord channels, and I can only assume that if the AI generated an image for somebody, it could generate the same image for me. (If the seed and prompt just happen to be exactly the same) People using AI generated images are not going to be able to sue for copyright infringement because they can never be sure the AI didn't just generate the same image for somebody else. (and more importantly, whose image was generated first :))
- sheepscreek 4y agoExactly. I thought about this some more. There is a way. If the training data is unique, and the copyrighter can prove that, then I would consider the end-result copyrightable. Also - what’s stopping people from lying on their applications about the origin of their work?
