No, because we already do not treat all work as copyrightable. A plumber doesn't get copyright on his piping job. It has to be original enough. So while your own skill might be original enough to warrant copyright, distilling it into a model might not.
- tensor 3y agoAn artists work is copyrightable, a writers work is copyrightable, an a personal model could reproduce those and also produce new works in the same style. Also, data can be intellectual property without being copyrightable.

Perhaps it shouldn't be copyrightable, but patentable. I think I would be OK with ML models (weights) being patentable rather than copyrightable.
