    Copyright can only be granted to works created by a human, but I don’t know of any such restriction for fair use. Care to share a source explaining why you think only humans are able to use fair use as a defense for copyright infringement?

      Because a human has to use talent+effort to make something that’s fair use. They adapt a product into something that while similar is noticeably different. AI will

      1. make things that are not just similar but not noticeably different.

      2. There’s not an effort in creation. There’s human thought behind a prompt but not on the AI following it.

      3. If allowed to AI companies will basically copyright everything…

        You are aware of the insane amounts of research, human effort and the type of human talent that is required to make a simple piece of software, let alone a complex artificial neural network model whose function is to try and solve whatever stuff…right?
