Great; so this is all public domain knowledge since it was created with AI according to current law, right?

Personally I think all medicine should be public domain

Everything should.

Medicine. Internet. Waste disposal.

All utilities, phone, electricity, sewage, road and rail.

But actually looking at these, pretty much all protocols and standards are already open.

Yeah, so the actual law is that if you didn't do any work and just gave ChatGPT or Midjourney a prompt and it shat out a picture and then brag to the copyright office in your application that you didn't do diddly squat, the work effectively had no human authors. If, instead, you build a new machine learning model, tune it for your specific problem, analyze the results, and furthermore, break new ground understanding how it solved your problem, and then you write the paper, in fact, you have tons of ownership over the work.

The fact people can't tell the difference between the two and are actually upvoting you kind of says a lot about how little most people understand this stuff.

I think those rulings have only applied to creative works. We'll see.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

This 100% is classified as a creative work. That's why drugs are able to be patented in the first place.

Depends, what was the training set / knowledge base?
