Bro, you’re the one that replied to me, why do YOU care if it’s able to be copyrighted if not concern that people can copy it without permission? That’s literally like the whole point of copyright

You’re not reading what I’m saying or you’re too stupid to understand 🤣 he can copyright the transformative work he did but the images aren’t his to copyright, whether 170 year old photos or the result of an ai slop machine. Someone else could take every image he uses and he’d have no legal recourse

It doesn’t! Both things can be true, it won’t get copyrighted (the non-transformative part of the work) and it’s shitty and not art 🤣

anything made with AI is never going to be good or important enough to be anywhere close to Ken Burns, any other opinion is delusional

Yeah, he still doesn’t have copyright on the original photos, he just has it for the documentary and the narration. And again, that’s based on real photos that have historic import and not bullshit ugly useless slop 🤣

No it won’t, cause it’s just stitched together clips of output, that’s not actually transformative work of the output. And if you don’t understand that, you don’t understand the act of creating anything

But they’re not tho, they’re just taking the output, they’re not doing anything transformative with it 🤣

Ultimately, no human can claim authorship (aka be the artist of) what comes out of an AI image generator

Also, if you read it they still have to do a transformative amount of work on the ai output, and can only copyright what they did to it, not the original output. It’s basically the same as copyrighting a collage of magazine clippings

Looks like they’re still rejecting other copyrights but that hasn’t been taken to court in the same way yet (but either way it’s not art and you shouldn’t be able to copyright it cause it’s mechanically put together by a non-human)

In case yall are confused, this does mean that legally, on top of spiritually and artistically, you are not an artist just because you generated an AI image (also if I see you vending at art stuff like dandyland or whatever I’m going to take all your prints and sell them myself)

OpenAI is Trump's biggest supporter. Just another reason to quit using all A.I. now.

From the makers of “fat guy with a hat” comes… “fat guy with a hat AND a cigar”!

What’s also nice is that if you vote for someone AND voice your misgivings about them ahead of time, then you can actually be the smug person you want to be when they turn out to be imperfect humans while also not causing nurses to literally get gunned down on the street by the federal government

And maybe, like, next time (if there is a next time), just fucking suck it up and minimize harm by voting and continue to take actions that improve the world bit by bit instead of expecting perfection like some ignorant child. The universe’s arc is fucking long and not voting made it fucking longer

And I don’t care about placing the blame, it’s irrelevant now, I just want people to understand for the future that just because you didn’t vote for the alternative doesn’t somehow make you morally superior to the people that actually did something that coulda avoided the current reality
