> "Next, you plug it into a computer and have the computer use a RNG to determine how to shake it. Still copywritable. Lastly, you have an LLM generate a sequence of angles and velocities with which to shake the brush. No longer copywritable? Why?" Consider an alternative image generation technique where the same computer is connected to a camera, and that video feed drives the brush strokes. Let's assume it imitates the Pollock style so well that if you place an image of a Pollock painting in front of the camera, the computer will produce what looks like a near-perfect painted replica of the original. Clearly this technique would have a problem with copyright. Programming a computer to make copies doesn't absolve you of copyright. In the eyes of the law currently, image diffusion models are seen as something closer to that hypothetical camera input that waves the brush, in the sense that the AI model has been trained directly on the works of specific artists and can recall stylistic aspects of their works on command.
