I wonder how long the novelty of DALL-E will persist. HN seems to upvote anything titled "I did X with DALL-E". This is a fun post, but it's not that interesting or surprising. Still worth a look don't get me wrong, but personally didn't learn anything new from it. (eg recreating the famous pink Floyd cover with "Outline of prism on a black background in the middle of scene splits a beam of light coming from the left side into rainbow on the right side" unsurprisingly worked somewhat well).

> The question is, when the music blows up and the artwork becomes a signature, like the Rolling Stones' Tongue & Lips, who will own the copyright? That’s what trademarks are for.

If they had bothered to read the license agreement they would know whoever generates the art owns the copyright. Since it's a pay-for action the copyright is owned by the payee.

So really they generated these and never bothered to do the research of their own question.

Although AI artists will destroy a lot of jobs, it will also create demand for new jobs for people who specialize in “paint overs” – taking a high concept output created by AI artists and touching it up to perfection.

Or perhaps even beyond just a paint over, and into the realm of recreating an entire AI artwork but with a human touch to get details just right.

Looking forward to it.

I have, like the article author presumably also does, a profund doubt as to whether generated works of this kind can be free of any copyright as long as the tool used is itself created using myriads of copyrighted works (as training data). I certainly do not trust the claims of the tool creators; they have all the incentive to ignore any copyright problems in order to get a tool which is usable.

And, as the article states:

> But seriously, how creative and original can you be with something that is trained on the works of millions of other creators?

> To me, it is unclear whether you can actually call these works your 'own' at all, because there's always someone else's touch on it.

> […] users of DALL-E will also never be sure whether they are generating something that is 'theirs' or just a knockoff of someone else's work.

OK, so I give you license to use this URL I just generated to generate your own stuff.

It's pay for action (send me a penny if you find anything worthwhile), and the copyright is owned by the payee:
