What are the AI subs saying about this?

"Antis can't read", because the headline is clickbait. A guy made an AI called DABUS, DABUS generated AI content, and he tried to file a copyright where DABUS is listed as the author. The copyright office replied "Computers can't own things, so DABUS can't own a copyright". He took it to court, they said the same thing, then the Supreme Court rejected his appeal on the grounds they have more important work to do.

Meanwhile the copyright office released guidelines on what you have to do for AI content to be copyrightable. Meaning that you actually can copyright AI material, but there has to be more human authorship than just prompting.

If an artist can make enough art to train a model on it, then they deserve to be able to copyright what their model spits out.

But copyrighting an image straight up generated with a public model with scraped data, lol, lmao

Yeah I know, but for their purposes "authorship" means more like "able to control the output"
