schnurritoAttempt to get copyright on wholly AI-generated art gunned down by US Supreme Court
hendrikI’d love to read the exact reasoning behind this. To me it’s completely unclear who should get copyright in this instance. The guy who put in 3 sentences to generate something? Sam Altman for commissioning the AI? Or the scientists? The model weights itself as some sort of legal entity? The people who created the art that got mashed up to be the thing the AI consists of?
I think the answer is and should be: no one. No human authorship means it is in the public domain.
It needs to be no one for IP and copyright law to continue to function.
If you take music as an example, one could use machine learning tools to make every possible combination of notes, then try to use IP law to go after every person who made a song after them.
