@arstechnica The biggest issue these pieces exclude is that the traversal of the latent space is deterministic in such a way that no copyrightable work is. If I could get copyright on AI generated images - the first thing I could do is set up a bot which would generate phrases then put them through image generators then technically they would be copyrighted right from thier generation. It would be a whole new way to do copyright trolling because I could have billions to trillions of generated images that I hold the copyright to and if I think your AI generated image (or even regular image) is close to one of mine - you've committed infringement.

@Guildz @arstechnica I can create a bot to generate and record every possible series of musical notes and then sue every songwriter for the rest of time
