The philosophical depth of so many comment threads on this post kind of highlights the issue with AI and intellectual property rights.
By definition, AI leverages existing work, crucially in a way that usually does not credit or benefit the original creator.
If I took two images from random creators, cut one out, and pasted it onto the other: have I created a new work? Is it a copyrightable work? (I genuinely don't know the answer to that).
Edit2: I wrote this in response to the first comment I read but after reading rest of thread I wanted this more visible. I'm not karma whoring and didn't mean to spam the comments posting this twice but the comments here are all engaging as fuck but feel like they're all circling around what im specifically pondering.
So why can't he copy right the prompt which created it? Obviously not being 100% cereal about this specific scenario but in the early days of GPT4 I fed it fucking dissertation length prompt threads writing ridiculously niche and in depth scripted functions. I don't know how to code but used a tool to create something extremely useful for my job. Some of the project took weeks to fully put together.
So what Im really asking is, why would it matter if I used cnc lathes to make something id want copywrited/patented or if I use a LLM to make it? Should it be any less protected because it's taking the "muscle" or "legwork" out of it? Should engineers only design prototypes destine for copywrite/TM/R/patent office if the prototype can be made on manual machines? Again, I kinda understand I went over the top with this but I am fascinated with how the fuck people are guna come up with regulatory frameworks to define the modern age of intellectual property and all the TM/C/R/P drama to follow.
Edit: To expand, the shit I have made using GPT having limited but interested experience with IT work also didnt stike me as anything marketable until I got feedback from vendors and customers I gave it to but from reps that didn't know I made it. It's not the point of me asking I just thought itd help anyone who is guna respond to see that my questions are coming from more of a manufacturing a tool type of understanding rather than the AI toookurjerbs from the suffering artist or musician type of understanding.
