What is the difference between human creativity and something that looks just like human creativity?
- bobthepanda 3y agoHuman authorship is legally protected and the other is not, whether that’s an AI or a bunch of monkeys on typewriters.
- dehrmann 3y agoAren't we all just a bunch of glorified monkeys on glorified typewriters?
- sbarre 3y agoNot according to the law, and that's what is being discussed?
- ensignavenger 3y agoNo, to start with, humans are apes, not monkeys ;)
- glimshe 3y agoSure, but is the pre-AI law still adequate? We can discuss what the law says, but we can also discuss what the law should be.
- kube-system 3y agoIt will need to be further refined to determine more clearly how it applies when humans are transforming another human's work with AI. But in general, the overarching concept that humans have rights and machines do not still very-much-so is applicable. With any law (not just IP), the end goal should be to protect the rights of humans in the context of how humans are human and do human things, regardless of the tools they use. At one point in time it was unclear whether things like tape recorders were legal. This is just that, with a different technology. Eventually we'll have better case law, and we'll know exactly how we can and can't use this one to protect the rights of other humans.
