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.

"All Allen could copyright was what he did to the image himself" - so if he trained the model himself, would that make the work copyrightable? Does that mean midjourney has the copyright of all the images created with it?
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.
