Comment on Shutterstock will start selling AI-generated stock imageryparent

Comments

I don't believe this is the case, because the AI is what is known as an 'anonymous author' under copyright, and authorship does not just transfer because you're the first to claim it.

Are you claiming that whoever wrote Photoshop automatically owns digital art created in Photoshop if the artist of the digital art doesn't claim copyright?

The AI is controlled by the user prompting it.

Or is it controlled by the code that constitutes it? Which "control" is more significant?

In the eyes of copyright law, the human element, as only humans can hold copyright. (for now)
