@cliffjones The issue of human authorship is interesting. In a hypothetical case, if I personally created an AI, then used that AI to generate a work, wouldn't that be a work of human authorship, with the Ai serving as a tool, just as if I had used a paintbrush or a word processor to create the work?
Of course, if one argues that the AI is exhibiting creativity in creating the work, that would contradict any argument that the AI is just a tool aiding in the expression of human creativity.

@brouhaha @cliffjones The real issue is that AI is creating derivative works based on human authors’ copyrighted work, and is doing so without licenses, compensation or attribution. Arguably, some AI works might be fair use, like a parody or an educational commentary is, but a computer can’t create its own fair-use purposes for art, and the humans involved probably only argue fair use as a mask for profiteering theft and creative laziness.

@brouhaha @cliffjones FYI: I also despise “musicians” who “create” hit songs by “sampling” 99 percent of an existing melody, and adding a few lines of AutoTuned gibberish where they proclaim themselves geniuses.
