With speech bubble:
I made these initially for my personal use, but now I’m curious to see what you will make out of them.
Here are my own creations. All done with manual editing via GIMP:
(Trans Rights)
(Esperanto)
(Pakistan)
(Soviet Union) (Note that I’m not a USSR supporter, I made this one for shits and giggles)
(Anarcho-Communism)
(Nonbinary)
(Sapphic)
Made using Pony Diffusion V6 XL, a Shane Glines LoRA, and quite some inpainting and manual editing.
Op, so are you saying we can use this graphic to alter and make something to post in thread so you can see? That’d be fun
Yes :)
Fun fact: AI generated content is not copyrightable.
I am curious how far that actually goes.
Just to name a few of potential edge cases that i think can still be copyrighted.
manually edited ai generations (like op)
the text prompt and custom workflow used to generate
a collage of specific ai generations expressed as a single work of art.
The precedent so far is that you can only copyright the things you actually had a majority influence in creating. So if the AI did most of the work, you can’t copyright it. You can copyright the parts of it that were your sole creation, like pasting your logo on top of AI images, but the image itself is not copyrightable.
Who knows whether that precedent will survive, though. Laws in the US don’t really mean anything anymore.
You’re spreading misinformation. There hasn’t been any ruling or precedent. The copyright office issued guidance, which reflects only the office’s interpretation based on its experience. It isn’t binding in the courts and guidance from the office is not a substitute for legal advice, nor it does not create any rights or obligations for anyone. They are the lowest rung on the ladder for deciding what law means.
More importantly, the copyright office has been hosting public listening sessions asking for public comments for some time now in an effort to evolve their understanding of the subject.
Here is a link to the actual guidance and an open letter by artists if you care to read it.
There has been a ruling issued by a judge:

And official statements from the copyright office:

They pretty much said what I said:
Read that again.
He tried to get copyright for a computer as the author. Copyright is something only humans can hold. This is something entirely different.
Read the actual decision:
The decision was that the work was not copyrightable in the first place because it was made without human involvement.
No misinformation here.
The ruling in Thaler v. Perlmutter is about something else entirely. He tried to argue that the AI itself was the author and that copyright should pass to him as he hired it.
True, but I was being considerate to the poster. Thanks!!
