AI have no rights. Your AI creations are right-less. They belong in the public domain. If not, they are properties of the peoples whose art you stole to make the AI.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Rough translation snippet from the WeChat post linked on Twitter:
This is indeed a very rare China L.
TIL if I make a program that just takes the Mona Lisa from a file and gives me back the Mona Lisa in another file with a bit of random noise attached that's now my IP as long as there was a text prompt where you have to write "Adult woman, oil painting, Renaissance, smile, landscape background, art, sunny."
Yeah it's a bullshit ruling that is probably going to be reversed at some point in the future once public opinion demands it after enough artists have been fkd over. I swear a lot of courts right now are making decisions based on what-ifs rather than what these technologies actually do.
I'm going with this, part of me thinks this just one of those rulings that will be touted as a "contrast" to the USA. Could be wrong though.
Maybe they can use it for leverage against the inherent lunacy of IP.
The west spends a lot of time kvetching about China "stealing IP". But if we get to a point where China is complaining about purloined copyrights-- in a sector that's a huge goldrush darling right now-- it might reduce Western eagerness to pick a fight.
That would be funny, but who knows what will happen. We just have to wait and see how seriously they uphold this IP stuff for AI "art"
Assuming judges even comprehend what the technologies do (not that I do, either, but I don't have a gavel). TBF this is China so maybe things are different. But in the west, we've had judges making political economic decisions without any grasp of the fundamentals of political economy for decades/centuries, so…
AI Art is Copyrightable but only if your prompt is at least 1000 characters long.
