Your logic literally applies the exact same to ai generated art. It’s quite clear you haven’t even tried it if you think that the artists are just asking for an entire image and then saying “all right. I’m all done here”.
Listen. I don’t think ai art should have a copyright either, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the logic you’re coming up with. Control net (or even just basic Adobe Photoshop now) allows anyone to do exactly what you are saying a “real” artist does.
A power supply is not a car battery. Either it wasn’t a car battery or it was fake. Literally go try it yourself. I’m not joking. Car batteries you literally can’t even feel if you bridge the terminals. There’s plenty on YouTube if you don’t believe me and choose to believe some random Reddit vid.
It doesn’t really matter if they do take your phone in the end anyway. If it’s that clear cut illegal then anything they manufacture as evidence wouldn’t be admissible in court…no matter what.
You’re literally using a service there that isn’t the case for.
If there is a blue streak in the upper left, it's because Pollock wanted a blue streak in the upper left.
Your words.
It’s not a joke. Though you can feel free to keep making jokes, but seriously, think of a 9v battery and putting your tongue on it. A car battery is barely one more AA battery on top of that.
12 volts is nothing. You can bridge a car battery with your fingers and nothing happens.
In general these art pieces are not created simply with words. Users control the output using ControlNet which allows drawing on the image to force regeneration only to specific areas. It seems that if your only logic around it being non-copyrightable is due to them using words and that the program “does it all”, but that’s just not how it works.
I’m not in favor of copyrights for stuff like this, but you have a terrible misunderstanding of how these art pieces are created and it’s affecting your argument negatively.
Your first paragraph is just nonsense. Please go try to swing a paintbrush and get every drop exactly where you want. It’s not possible. It’s literally why pollock painted that way.
They already have your photo for your passport or license and they don’t need permission to take video or photos in an airport at all.
The stats disagree with you, so your anecdotes don’t really mean anything…
Recent science has shown what they say to not be true. PTFE can even off gas without being under heat at all. And even if it was true, you’re still increasing demand for something that causes an insane amount of environmental damage and the factories do cause a significant amount of PFAS to get into everyone’s bodies.
