#2I’ve made so much money stacking my pitch decks and websites with AI generated media that I don't care if someone copy and pastes it and uses it commercially too
People married to their prompt engineering outputs are really missing the forest for the trees

#3The narrative beauty of filling this up with GPT-created comments will be so incredibly sublime.

#5I'm going to try to plead my case for images generated using sophisticated prompt engineering to be copyrightable. For example, at the point that I've written a prompt with 20 tags, 10 negative prompt tags, some loras, custom weights, embeddings merges, and prompt editing, I'm now writing what is effectively a "program", which should be copyrightable and so should its outputs.
It's total BS to me that a book of midjourney generated images is itself copyrightable because a human arranged the book together, but that a highly sophisticated prompt involving custom tooling wouldn't be.
If nothing else, my comments should show the US Patent Office how deep the rabbit-hole goes with just how interpolatable everything is with everything else.

Perhaps it's the artists on whose content your models got trained that are rightfully upset. After all, you're not giving them a dime and neither is "open" "AI"

No, you're passing inputs to a program, and your description completely omits the vast majority of that input: the creative output of an unknown number of other people, whose rights you are attempting to launder.

Thats nice and all. But it has nothing to do with whether something is copyrightable or not.
Instead, something is copyrightable based on the amount of human input into the process.
And it is very clear that there can be a lot of human input into AI image generation.
Even though I will concede that going into midjourney and just typing in "Hot anime girl" isn't a lot of input and likely doesn't deserve copyright protection.
But there can be so much more to AI art than the boring case of low effort mid journey prompts.

Copyright is, like all regulation, freedom restriction for the benefit of society. Producing movies and books takes a lot of investment, and people would not do it to the extent they do without copyright. If we think there is more than enough creative content, we should reduce copyright protections, and if we think there is not enough, we should increase it. Generative AI will move the needle very far in the direction of overabundance and should result in correspondingly reduced copyright protections.
