Which aspects, though?

Like AI is just a tool. Is a novel not copywritable because I used a typewriter instead of a pen? A pen instead of a cuneiform tablet? A cuneiform tablet instead of word of mouth? Language instead of ooga boogas and interpretive dance?

If I tell stable diffusion to draw a logo for a shoe company, sure, it makes sense that isn’t copywritable.

But if I hire a person to design that logo, then train a LoRA so stable diffusion knows “bye bye shoe co logo” means my logo, and then I tell SD to draw a space shuttle with my logo, of course that will still be protected by trademark, and likely copyright.

It’s my registered logo (trademark) and it’s really hard to argue that the work isn’t transformative. I, the artist, came up with an original concept (my shoe company logo on the space shuttle), and used a tool to realize my art.

Also, so what if it’s trained on other peoples art. So is every writer. Are we going to sue George Lucas because Star Wars is informed by contemporary creative works?

I’m not saying this ruling is a bad thing - I think the philosophy behind it is necessary. We need protection from the AI menace. What I’m saying is that for the truly heinous cases of AI taking your job, i doubt this will help.

All of them. Please be all aspects.

Awesome news! Glad to hear this. Hopefully this sends a good president moving forward to keep that shit reigned in so artists can continue to make a fair living from their craft.
