Why do you believe that?
- mminer237 18d agoIt's a basic principle of copyright that only a natural person can be an author. The US Copyright Office has stated such: https://www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intelligence-Part-2-Copyrightability-Report.pdf https://www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intell... The Council of the EU has also stated such AFAIK.
- addaon 18d agoThe author is a tool, not a person. Tools cannot hold copyright. Copyright requires human authorship. Licenses depend on copyright as their essential mechanism.

- pbasista 17d agoExactly. The person holding the camera is the author. Even if they just point the camera and press the record button. In a similar way, I would not consider AI to be the "author" of the output they produce. Rather, the person prompting it should be considered the author, in my opinion.
