That's a legal implication. I'm asking what is it a practical implication. Why would an AI want to copyright their work?

- anigbrowl 2y agoSo that you can run an AI company, churn out enough material to flood a particular market, and leverage copyright protection to cash in. Like say you call it the Kittenator, and then do automated keyword search for anything involving kittens - kitten in a box, kitten wearing socks, kittens on the rocks, kitten versus fox - and generate 25 different images for any given keyword combination, and push them out to major image-sharing platforms. The stock imagery market is pretty large but if you have the copyright enforcement in your pocket you can go after it in chunks.
- jachee 2y agoPretty sure Adobe is doing exactly this.
- kube-system 2y agoYou don't need an AI assigned copyright to do that. Companies have humans at them too.
- anigbrowl 2y agoWell you do if someone rejects a copyright claim on the grounds that the image is AI-generated, and a court backs them up.
- kube-system 2y agoThe court did not say AI generated images are not eligible for copyright. They said machines cannot be assigned copyrights. That’s because only humans are eligible. If you are a human who creatively uses a tool to generate something, you’d get copyright protection.
