Stupid tardigrade doesn't even know how to play a violin
He’s doing his best!
Stupid human doesn't even know what a violin looks like.
NGL, I am pretty tired and have my glasses off, thought he was holding a sword and shield and thought this was pretty cool.

Ha! Not the onion was made for this headline!
ChatGPT, show me the world's tiniest violin playing "No One Gives a Fuck" in A minor.
I wish that was true for minors 😔
It's not "famous" that should be in inverted commas, but "artist".
We call those quotation marks.
But yes.
Who is we? The global pedant society?
The English language? I have never heard the phrase "inverted commas."
But as to your point: "Both? Both is good."
Ok so I apologise for my earlier snarky reaction but I felt zahille7's response was somewhat condescending. Particularly since it is terminology recognised by three major English dictionaries, one of which is widely regarded as the leading authority on the English language... https://www.oed.com/dictionary/inverted-comma_n?tl=true https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/inverted-commas https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/inverted-commas
... So just because you have never heard of something, doesn't give you licence to be rude to someone or talk down to them as if they are stupid for their choice of phrasing. Or maybe it just means you aren't British...
Nailed it on the last one. I was going to say, you can probably thank the American education system if it's common enough to be recognized by dictionaries like those. And Zahille7 is probably American, too, which caused the snarky comment in the first place.
Just the usual case of English being a crazy language that ruffles through other languages' coat pockets looking for loose adverbs.
From the national broadcaster of England
Ah, the usual case of English and American being two entirely different languages despite pretending otherwise.

Aren't inverted commas also a phrase for that? Or is that the joke.
Yeah. It's from the old printing press times when they used the same pieces of type for commas and quote marks, just rotated 360 degrees.

per Wikipedia
On September 21, 2022, Allen submitted an application to the us copyright office for registration of the image. Prior to the first formal refusal, the Copyright Office Examiner requested that the request would exclude any features of the image generated by Midjourney. Allen declined the request and requested copyright for the whole image.
So what I'm getting from that is his Photoshop edits aren't significant enough to constitute a copyrightable work on their own and the copyright office was right to deem it a non-human production.
I'm just happy someone at the copyright office knows what they're doing
This has been the copyright office's stance for quite a while now. Actually, most of the world's respective IP registrars and authorities do not grant IP rights to AI generated material.

Get a real job
Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.
Agreed.
Get fucked, you no talent ass clown.
He's really good at writing words about his on-stolen-content-based generated image, you got to give him that.
But no, fuck copyrighting AI content, that's a dead channel from a copyright perspective.
eat shit dude
This article is annoyingly one-sided. The tool performs an act of synthesis just like an art student looking at a bunch of art might. Sure, like an art student, it could copy someone's style or even an exact image if asked (though those asking may be better served by torrent sites). But that's not how most people use these tools. People create novel things with these tools and should be protected under the law.
It’s deterministic. I can exactly duplicate your “art” by typing in the same sentence. You’re not creative, you’re just playing with toys.

Lol, no. A student still incorporates their own personality in their work. Art by humans always communicates something. LLMs can't communicate.

I thought it's "the tool" the "performs an act of synthesis". Do people create things, or the LLM?
No no, he created the prompt. That's the artistic value /s
the machine learning model creates the picture, and does have a "style", the "style" has been at least partially removed from most commercial models but still exist.

So what you're saying is that the AI is the artist, not the prompter. The AI is performing the labor of creating the work, at the request of the prompter, like the hypothetical art student you mentioned did, and the prompter is not the creator any more than I would be if I kindly asked an art student to paint me a picture.
In which case, the AI is the thing that gets the authorial credit, not the prompter. And since AI is not a person, anything it authors cannot be subjected to copyright, just like when that monkey took a selfie.
It should be as copyrightable as the prompt. If the prompt is something super generic, then there's no real work done by the human. If the prompt is as long and unique as other copyrightable writing (which includes short works like poems) then why shouldn't it be copyrightable?

Think he'll try to use a llm as his lawyer?
Lol.
I like the comment that said the AI is the artist and he's just a commissioner, makes perfect sense.

He needs to take a photograph of it and then copyright the photograph. Easy!
I'm pretty sure there's a misspelling. It's spelled "douchebag" not "artist".
I'm hoping someone with actual talent paints the AI picture and then copyrights it
I don't think someone painting a physically copy of the image will gain ownership of the copyright.
