Should AI images be copyrightable?
Should AI images be copyrightable?
I've heard arguments for both sides and i think it's more complicated then simply yes or no. what do you guys think?
You're viewing a single thread.
Different take: If I generate an image through a random number generator, should this be copyrightable?
My thought on that is if you generate multiple images through a random number generator and find one that's interesting or aesthetically pleasing, then you are the creator since selecting it, while low effort, is the creative process.
Sounds good to me. So AI generated image should also be copyrightable. As it's basically a random number generator.
Essentially yes, I would give the person using AI to generate an original image the credit as the image's creator. I'm willing to bet that anything "good" AI generates is a result of many attempts and refinements and a human selecting the best result, and to me that makes it a human-driven creative process using a tool, the same as using a random number generator.
I'm deliberately not saying "copyrightable" because I don't personally believe that digital files should be copyrightable (since recognising a copyright of a number is insanity), but it should be copyrightable in a society that recognises number copyrights.
Yeah, basically if you used one of these generators to create an image, you are the creator.
