An artist who infamously duped an art contest with an AI image is suing the U.S. Copyright Office over its refusal to register the image’s copyright.

In the lawsuit, Jason M. Allen asks a Colorado federal court to reverse the Copyright Office’s decision on his artwork Theatre D’opera Spatialbecause it was an expression of his creativity.

Reuters says the Copyright Office refused to comment on the case while Allen in a statement complains that the office’s decision “put me in a terrible position, with no recourse against others who are blatantly and repeatedly stealing my work.”

    If you want to be the old man yelling how the world is changing for the worse, go ahead. You are entitled to your conservative opinion.

      k. Thanks! I have been waiting for weeks for permission from an AI “artist” to be allowed to have an opinion on something.

      You’ve helped me out a lot!
