> If I say to one of my human friends "write me a nursery rhyme", the copyright of the resulting rhyme would obviously belong to my friend - despite me prompting them. Clearly the prompt itself does not universally count as "making" it.
This is the wrong analogy. The LLM is more like Photoshop and the prompt little more than a filter configuration. A machine cannot copyright its own output but a human guiding that machine can.

- crote 3y agoNo, it's the right analogy for the point I was making. That analogy is there to point out that it is about more than just the prompt, and prompting a machine is covered in the rest of my comment.
