I’ve heard arguments for both sides and i think it’s more complicated then simply yes or no. what do you guys think?

    Sounds good to me. So AI generated image should also be copyrightable. As it’s basically a random number generator.

      Essentially yes, I would give the person using AI to generate an original image the credit as the image’s creator. I’m willing to bet that anything “good” AI generates is a result of many attempts and refinements and a human selecting the best result, and to me that makes it a human-driven creative process using a tool, the same as using a random number generator.

      I’m deliberately not saying “copyrightable” because I don’t personally believe that digital files should be copyrightable (since recognising a copyright of a number is insanity), but it should be copyrightable in a society that recognises number copyrights.

        Yeah, basically if you used one of these generators to create an image, you are the creator.
