A new federal ruling states human authorship remains an “essential part of a valid copyright claim”

What a great way to put it
Can you copyright food
possibly under the current law. when it comes to, say, lab-grown meat, there are specific, patented processes for doing that which can produce a specific result that could possibly be copyrighted. I think it would be hard to argue in court that it’s a “creative work”, but maybe? it wouldn’t surprise me if some particularly unscrupulous company made an attempt to do so.
we very badly need IP law reform.

Copyright is a cancer
Copyright, in theory, is great. It’s the current state of intellectual property law, especially in the United States, that’s the problem. 
As per usual not the technology but the implementation as it always is, time in and time out
well, if you really want to get specific, it’s because large corporations with a vested interest in maintaining and consolidating IP rights for as long as possible while neglecting small artists and individuals were the ones in charge of writing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and then the US strong-armed most of the rest of the world into adopting most or all of it via compliance by means of a great many treaties, trade deals, etc. in the wake of 9/11 and the expanding militarization during the “War on Terror” at the time. it was pretty underhanded.
Or, in other words: capitalism screwed the little people, and we’re still paying the price.
You mean to tell me that the rich and famous still influence the laws of the land 🤔
It seems that AI without human guidance is mostly useless. So far we’ve seen that you need a human operator, and typically one with decent domain-specific knowledge/skill to get an AI to produce anything worthwhile. That guidance is essentially human authorship.
Most of the time, human guidance occurs before the AI generates anything. For example, ChatGPT was trained with human involvement, but most of what it writes will not be reviewed and edited by a human.
However, an identifiable component of the text must have been written by a human author in order to claim copyright. So most of what ChatGPT writes cannot be copyrighted. It would only be eligible for copyright if a human reviewed and edited what ChatGPT had written.
There is an underlying tension in that copyright is explicitly meant to be an incentive for creative efforts made by humans (who would otherwise be doing something else), and AI is generally designed to replace humans engaged in creative efforts.
Biggest blow to movie studios trying to exploit people.
What if I were to create a training model made exclusively from my own artwork. It would only be reassembling my work, so would that not be copyrighteable?
I wonder how that would be handled in the future.
Because you’re not generating the output.
I’m not sure I agree with this position, but that’s the reasoning.
If that were the case, a compiled program is not copyrightable.
There goes Wombo’s business model.
ai and copyright are the two shittiest fucks in my ass im glad they’re together now making a complete shitwizard
