【預言成真現世報】只會用 AI 創作不叫創作 🙃

Plaintiff Stephen Thaler had appealed to the justices after lower courts upheld a U.S. Copyright Office decision that the AI-crafted visual ⁠art ‌at issue in the case was ineligible for copyright protection ⁠because it did not have a human creator. The Copyright Office rejected his application in 2022, finding that creative works must have human authors ​to be eligible to receive a copyright.

Those artists argued that ⁠they were entitled to copyrights for images they created with AI assistance - unlike Thaler, who said his system created “A ‌Recent Entrance to Paradise” independently.

A federal judge in Washington upheld the ‌office’s decision in Thaler’s case in 2023, writing that human authorship is a “bedrock requirement of copyright.”

“Although the Copyright Act does not define the term ‘author,’ multiple provisions of the act make clear that the term refers to a human rather than a machine,” the administration said. The Supreme Court previously rejected Thaler’s request to hear his argument in a separate case involving prototypes for a beverage holder and a light ​beacon concerning whether AI-generated inventions should be eligible ‌for U.S. patent protection.
