AI has been great for dumb TikTok memes, but that's where it should stay.
Regarding prompts and just hitting enter, I actually did quite a bit of work in a previous job that was pretty much just that. I'd set up the inputs, finagle the simulation, and come up with results. There's some value in hitting enter, but it's not in the actual execution. It's in developing the input and interpreting the results. The raw product itself isn't valuable -- someone who knew nothing about the program could be instructed on what to enter and what buttons to press, and they'd create the exact same product.
I think what we'll see is copyright for prompts and development, but not for the output it generates. Someone could make a living on selling AI prompts without ever executing any of them.
I'm curious how this ruling is going to affect the discussion of AI being trained on copyright material.
