I doubt this will settle the issue. We are about to enter the age of AI generated X (movies, games, etc. 'I want to watch a western tonight.' ...'generating'...). Would the end user own the copyright on that since they prompted it? We are very early days still so the deep implications of the direction and potential of this technology aren't even remotely understood well enough yet.
such an important topic right here. are we really going to enter an age of media that is AI generated or are we entering an age where media bifurcates into two broad categories: AI sloppish brain rot and more refined products that are hand made.
> two broad categories: AI sloppish brain rot and more refined products that are hand made
If we graph it: Sloppishness is the Y axis and if we then put progres-in-AI on the X axis, the two lines will eventually touch each other. With some segment¹ of the population not being able to tell the difference sooner than others, slowly reducing available budget of handmade media, increasing it's slop over time. Therefore progress in AI will reduce the quality of even handmade media.
So far it seems that in 99% of cases the user who generated the content owns it.
The issue is that, for the US in particular, the bar is a bit higher on how much human input is required. But generally, some human labor needs to be mixed with the result for it to be yours.
Every jurisdictions going to come up with a different standard, and then there will be an international treaty on it and then everyone will pipe down.
