This......This is amazing.
"Who really 'owns' AI generated work and who gets the money? It’s a question that’s been debated ever since this particular genie escaped its bottle. So you installed the software, you typed the prompt and whatever comes out of the other end is yours, right? Wrong?
In a potential landmark decision for AI – and its place in generative, artistic creation going forwards – the US copyright office just decided that work produced by AI can’t be copyrighted. That is, it’s impossible to own something that AI created no matter if it was you that pushed the buttons and conjured it into being.
AI-based tools however – such as those used to reconstruct lost performances or to enhance or modify created works to achieve the ‘impossible’ – are still permitted and work containing them can still be attributed to a creator and ‘owned’."
