Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

So midjourney give it's users ownership, as do all the other image generation services.

That being said, what you quoted means that if someone generates an image and then further modifies it, then they can copyright it. If all they did was prompt the model and nothing else, then it isn't possible to copyright.

Ah thanks for the clarification.

Cant stop thinking about the http://allthemusic.info/ project. Would be a crazy amount of data but making every possible image and make it public domain. Unoriginal therefore uncopyrightable.

It's not mid journeys call.

AI generated art cannot be copyrighted. End of story.

Yes, purely AI generated outputs cannot currently be copyrighted. It's to be seen what ration of ai vs human is needed for copyrights to take affect.

This is very new tech and the courts are already way behind. A lot of things can change quickly with just a case or two. We aren't near the end of the story.
