Fun fact: AI generated content is not copyrightable.

Op, so are you saying we can use this graphic to alter and make something to post in thread so you can see? That’d be fun

I am curious how far that actually goes.
Just to name a few of potential edge cases that i think can still be copyrighted.
-
manually edited ai generations
-
the text prompt and custom workflow used to generate
-
a collage of ai generations expressed as a single work of art.

The precedent so far is that you can only copyright the things you actually had a majority influence in creating. So if the AI did most of the work, you can’t copyright it. You can copyright the parts of it that were your sole creation, like pasting your logo on top of AI images, but the image itself is not copyrightable.

You’re spreading misinformation. There hasn’t been any ruling or precedent. The copyright office issued guidance, which reflects only the office’s interpretation based on its experience. It isn’t binding in the courts and guidance from the office is not a substitute for legal advice, nor it does not create any rights or obligations for anyone. They are the lowest rung on the ladder for deciding what law means.
More importantly, the copyright office has been hosting public listening sessions asking for public comments for some time now in an effort to evolve their understanding of the subject.
Here is a link to the actual guidance and an open letter by artists if you care to read it.
