Then with DALL-E it is like you are instructing a commissioned artist (who would own the copyright). I think it's fundamentally different to using a tool in Photoshop - content aware fill uses the rest of the image to fill in space, so whoever owned the original image would own the content-aware fill section. If an AI is used to generate new features - images, people - then it is like a collage or original and copyrighted work. Artists that throw paint around made the artistic and creative decision to do that, would choose the paint, the canvas etc. and actually it is very difficult to create work that has that quality of spontaneity and randomness - they would definitely own the copyright.
