   Opinion: Don’t exclude AI-generated art from copyright

   A rule against copyrighting AI art will be unworkable.

     @arstechnica No. Copyrights should be for protecting the works of people, not corporations

     @arstechnica the article completely misses the point. The issue is that the work was not solely created by a specific tool under the direction of an artist (a brush, camera, or MS Paint), nor was the artist assisted by another ‘person’ as the “AI” is not a true AI but simply an amalgamation of other works that the tool reproduces in some part.
     The work is more akin to a mural painted by other artists by direction, or a symphony performance…both without attribution/agreement of the other artists.

     @arstechnica Opinion: I should be allowed to republish Ars Technical articles as long as I make a couple of changes

     @arstechnica it seems to me that NOT putting AI work in the public domain is untenable. At least until the AI is capable of arguing for its ownership

     @arstechnica It is important to keep in mind that your corporate publisher Condé Nast may have a vested interest in allowing AI generated images to be protected by copyright.

     Perhaps the story needs a disclaimer to this effect.
