No. You don't know who wrote the software that implemented that algorithm. In effect, me as the engineer who created photoshop was the creator of that. You needed me in this example to do that. You don't know if ai created that algorithm - it has been happening for decades that some software was created by other software - and I'm not just talking about optimizing compilers.
There was a creative algorithm, and 99.999% of the time there was not a specification that determines every single bit.
The work output of the programmers, the thousands of people involved in that pipeline to create the software - "that's different", say the artists.
- dahfizz 3y agoYou also don't know who created the paint or what their secret formula is in traditional art. Drawing your art in Photoshop is clearly authorship. You are manipulating each pixel from scratch to be how you want it. There may be algorithms between your mouse clicks and the final product, but you as the author still have complete control of the whole art. You can tweak each pixel until its exactly how you want. Asking an LLM for a picture of a duck is clearly not authorship. You did not create any pixels in that image, the LLM did. You just asked for it. Its no different than googling for a picture of a duck and claiming what you find because you engineered the google search query. There is a lot of murkiness in between, where you take assets from an LLM and use them in your own creation. I think having to disclaim the assets which were not created by you is a very reasonable solution.
