You just stated how an AI generated image should be copyrightable. You should be able to own the copyright to all the configuration settings. If those settings then can be transformed to a 100% deterministic image (true, since you provide the seed) then I don't see how this is different than developing a photo negative film and transferring it to paper. > This would mean I could copyright "man holding apple". I think this is true today. You can have copyright on this phrase, just consider if it were the title of a song or poem.

> I think this is true today. You can have copyright on this phrase, just consider if it were the title of a song or poem. That is not true today. You don't get a copyright on a phrase in particular if it was the title of a poem or song. For example: "There's something in the way she moves" by James Taylor[1] and "Something" by the Beatles[2] which starts with the same line. James has the copyright over his song called "There's something in the way she moves" [3] and George Harrison's estate has the copyright over the one he wrote with the same title even though he probably copied it from James Taylor.

He thinks because he signed to "Apple Records" (the Beatles' label) they heard his one when he recorded it before it was released and that maybe gave George Harrison the idea for the line.

  I'm confused, are they both entitled to their copyright? (which I think should be the case)

    They have copyright oveer their respective songs, not the phrase, so it disproves your statement that you can have copyright over a phase. It can be a trademark but not be copyrighted
