"The issue is that the AI's output is deterministic"
Point a digital camera at a still scene under controlled lighting conditions and it's pretty deterministic also.
Anyway, it's easy enough to add randomness to the AI image generation process (and Midjourney does do that by default, as a matter of face), so the process need not be deterministic at all.
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoIt's not about the physics of light, it's about what the artist chooses to have in the scene. And it's not randomness that fixes it. Do you even want to get into the information theory problems if you could copyright the output of a random number generator? What you need is for someone to be making creative choices with enough entropy to be considered original and not be reproducible by feeding a short sentence to an existing algorithm.
- IYasha 3y agoI really like how you put it. Good thought! But I don't quite agree that entropy is a criteria of originality. Because originality is not ranodmness, it's... distinctiveness.
