- dragonwriter 4y ago> Too bad AI generated content cannot be copyrighted. The Copyright Office opinion on that only states that is the case when there is no human involvement beyond prompting, and in any case, with the Supreme Court likely to strike down Chevron deference in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, that opinion may quite soon have very little weight.
- adhesive_wombat 4y agoThere's definitely a tension in my mind between the idea that prompts, which on their own could attract some level of copyright[1], do not produce copyrightable elements in the output and the plaintiffs' claims in the copyright lawsuits against LLM companies that training inputs do. I'm not sure which side I even agree with more, let alone which side has the stronger legal case (and the balance point will certainly be different in different jurisdictions). [1]: tweets are copyrightable (subject to the usual creative input, originally, etc requirements) and a detailed AI prompt can certainly be as involved as a tweet.
- dllthomas 4y agoI don't have a well thought through opinion on what the resolution should be, but it seems hugely inconsistent that pointing my camera at whatever in my environment, with little thought or care or creativity, produces something copyright covers while carefully picking a prompt to get the sort of image I want out of a different sort of machine does not.
- mensetmanusman 4y agoSure it can, no one can tell what is human or not.
