#2just found FreeOutput, a website that compares AI providers based on whether they assign copyright to the user.

#3I guess I thought that If an image was generated by these tools, at least in the US, the copyright office did not consider it to have any copyright at all, therefore it was by default public domain?

Note that you can still violate someone else's IP rights, only your side of claims will be null and void if courts determine you're not the creator of content.

#5Very interesting tool yet completely irrelevant for the United States as AI generated content is not eligible for copyright protection by anyone (pending appeal). As it stands y’all may not like this reality, but it’s quite clear in legal terms. Claiming an AI generated work is protected by copyright simply doesn’t matter regardless of which entity is asserting the right at present.

#6What's the practical use of this? The AI doesn't know if the output is sufficiently different from the training material. If the output you get matches pre existing content, the license these AI companies give you won't save you.

Really? Isnt that the purpose of the indemnification agreement the vendors have underwritten?

#8It claims that OpenAI output is "free", but the OpenAI ToS says (among other things)
> You are prohibited from ... Using Output to develop models that compete with OpenAI.
If this were a software license, it'd surely be classified as nonfree.

This means they would potentially cancel your account if you violated it, but not that they would claim ownership over the work.

We don't see it aggressively enforced in the US (unclear if that status quo will continue) but copyright infringement is also in the criminal code, and that can't be indemnified.
Civil indemnification still means a sued party must go to court and assert it as a defense, and there's no guarantee that a judge won't throw it out as invalid. These are uncharted legal waters.
