  • In the same way, the company that created the LLM may protect their work

    What does the company protect here? The system, or the model? Which the latter being ill-gotten by scraping already copyrighted content?

    Who drew the art is of no import when the artist isn’t a sentient lifeform

    It was an allegory. The supposed artist is the commissioner and the LLM being the artist. And since you can’t copyright something you didn’t made, well tough luck getting copyright on AI slop.

    By your definition, a photographer cannot own a picture because the camera captured it.

    No, because as a photographer you hold the tool in your hand. You can adjust everything, even the subject. And its all in your own control and it takes your skill in managing it to shoot the perfect photo.

    If we would take your interpretation of my definition, then nobody can own anything since they always have to use a tool to create something.



  • You can copyright a combination of words, though, and it was his unique combination that created the art

    so its literature, then?

    The artist doesn’t copyright the palette, and the shop that sold the pigments holds no ownership over the painting.

    Sure, the artist doesn’t copyright a palette, or the shop does not hold ownership of pigments. But Companies do patent pigments.

    If the art is created with paint, pixels, or phrase, the final product belongs to the artist, and so should be protected by law for them.

    If you commission an Art piece, with a detailed description of what it should display. The artist comes back to you with a draft, you tell them to adjust here and there, and you finally after several rounds of drafting got the commissioned art piece. Did you draw it?

    Thats what LLMs do and nothing else.
