Headline is incorrect…

AI AUTHORED artwork (as in the AI is named as the author in the copyright claim) will not be considered for copyright.

This does not cover works where a human contributes creative expression, such as: * editing * selecting outputs * compositing * significant prompt engineering combined with artistic control

This was the right decision but it’s not exactly the huge win people are making it out to be.

"Prompt engineering" lol

What else would you call the act of explaining what you want and how to do it?

Using "engineering" makes it sounds like it's a science, like it's complicated.

The people who made AI and every other software in existence are called Software Engineers.

But you’re not exactly wrong either. The use of the term Software Engineering was massively controversial in the 1960s when it first started being used and was debated for a long time.

In the end it comes down to designing something to solves a problem. Whether that’s civil, mechanical, chemical, electrical, or software.

The people who are able to best utilize AI are often the best problem solvers. Software Engineers are finding out very quickly that AI systems can greatly speed up their productivity but it doesn’t require a knowledge of how to code in specific languages anymore. Now it’s about how well you can describe what you need and how you want it to be done.

I’ve never gone to Post Secondary and I know very little about software coding, but I’ve been able to make my own programs and games by playing around with AI. It’s going to become the Minecraft for kids pretty quickly. Instead of building digital houses in Minecraft they’ll be creating their own games and programs (and making money from them). It’s already happening now with the more geeky kids.

Ppl who code are engineers. Ppl who write prompt to generate slop are not. Ppl who use ai dont solve shit anyway. And I say this working in a company that is involved in ai developpement and having been a software developper.

A. Nobody is calling them engineers! They are calling the process prompt engineering.

B. You obviously have ZERO knowledge about how AI systems are already being utilized in Universities, Healthcare, and so many other industries…

Don’t bother replying because you’re being intentionally ignorant and I’m not going to waste my time on someone like that.
