    Aight and the proof already provided shows that it is in fact considered to be in the public domain, which proves you’re wrong.

          I’m not going to go fishing around for the case you and technician are referring to, but if it’s anything like OP’s links then it doesn’t say what you’re claiming it says and/or isn’t nearly as broad and all encompassing as you describe. I don’t live in a nation ruled by the blog/tabloid “synthtopia”.

            I mean sure you can ignore the court ruling, but here’s the copyright office’s guidance (which they also provided later in an edit) and it clarifies that AI generated work is not eligible for copyright

              You’re the second person I’ve replied to about that, but they give only two examples of image generation which were denied for claiming to contain absolutely no human authorship which can be considered subjective by the courts as digital camera output is copyrightable based on who presses the button, the office admits they are waiting for public input (the legislative body) on the matter, and also since this is the copyright office it has no bearing on other types of established property such as license or patent law.

              Until the laws clarify I say treat AI code as radioactive.

                That person was also me, funnily enough!


                since this is the copyright office it has no bearing on other types of established property such as license or patent law

                Buddy, patents are public domain. That’s the whole point of a patent.

                As part of the terms of granting the patent to the inventor, patents are published into the public domain.


                the office admits they are waiting for public input (the legislative body) on the matter

                No they don’t - they’ve published their current rules and state that those rules are their interpretation and those rules will stand until and unless further rulings or legislation comes out to change the situation. You know, how laws work?
