← Thread MAIJIN.THE ARTIST ✔ @MAIJINTHEARTIST A.I. COMIC BOOK REJECTED by the U.S. Copyright Office in landmark decision. Kris Kashtanova used Midjourney's A.I. model to produce the comic book, Zarya of The Dawn...and became the most publicized test case for whether A.I. image generations should be granted copyright protections for human authorship. She was rightfully rejected. Why? Well, the Copyright attorneys have echoed what I mentioned before, which is ANY prompter's contribution to the A.I. image generation process is purely ART DIRECTION. Therefore, a prompter is NEITHER directly or substantially responsible for the actual authorship of the image itself - just the direction of it. But even so, STILL prompters have less say in the art direction than most Art Directors who work with human artists...because the A.I. generation process is still largely randomized/arbitrary, despite the specificity of the prompter or prompt engineer. Make no mistake, Kris Kashtanova was backed by Midjourney and the A.I. community as a whole, who OBVIOUSLY sent her out with Midjourney's legal counsel to legitimize A.I. 'art' by getting it 'on record' as legal precedent, and indistinguishable from human crafted art.... which is why the entire A.I. community attempted to anthropomorphologize the neural network of the A.I. models as this was playing out. This is a major win for artists and creators all across the country...and the world. Source: t.co/wlSw3sEYTO Thanks to @franklingraves for breaking the news.

FEAR NOT, It will not happen. I repeat, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. Why? A.I. prompters will be UNABLE to get around the core argument by me and the Copyright Attorneys... which is prompters are effectively ART DIRECTORS to the a.i. models, and therefore they are not the actual creators of the actual image it produced from their direction. It doesn't matter how they spin it... revise it... or fight it... The argument for Al-generated images being copyrighted is DEAD IN THE WATER. 1 CASE IN POINT: Dr. Stephen Thaler was also rejected copyright protections for his A.I. generated image, and he took it all the way to the Federal Appeals court... and recently, he is likely about to lose that appeal and the copyright office is holding steadfast to their decision that NO A.I. generated images are copyrightable. news.bloomberglaw.com /ip-law/ai-crea... Stephen Thaler's attorney gaslit him, as they are gaslighting Kashtanova and other Generative A.I. supporters, that there is a chance to overturn the decision...THERE IS NOT. It's DEAD IN THE WATER. Big win for human artists. The tide is turning my friends. 3:09 PM - Feb 22, 2023-69.6K Views The copyright office only granted Kristina Kashtanova copyright for the story she allegedly wrote herself (unless it is later proven the text was also Al generated)... which is understandable and should not matter. The point of this exercise was always "can the a.i. images be copyrightable" and they ABSOLUTELY CANNOT for now and for many years to come. € 3 ↑
