AI Generated 'Art'

[変な変態]

I love this ‘new’ technology! Best part is that as it stands now, the works an AI makes can’t be copyrighted. At least this is how some US courts have ruled for now. Reason why; its not a human who makes it. This tech will only get better as datasets grow larger and algorithms evolve. This will give everyone a virtual treasure trove of art receding in the public domain.

This is the major difference from commissioning a human artist. A person can give you the rights to use work that they made. At least in the US; you can’t do that with work from an AI. Of course as far as I know human made derivatives are copyrightable.

It seems to me there is an obvious loophole here, which is that you copyright some element and then ask the AI to reproduce it. For example, if you ask it to draw Mickey Mouse, I've no doubt that Disney would effectively own the copyright to that. Or you can do some post editing. For example, use AI to make a background, and then add a figure to that. Also, if you start with a drawing and have AI enhance it, surely that is still your work?

Oh wow, looks like there's been an explosion of them. I'm going to sound like a leech, but has anyone found one of these apps (phone or desktop) that A. Gives you free image credits (even just a few) on a regular schedule or B. Doesn't attempt to keep results SFW?

I haven't tried these, but I might soon:
