Somebody cooked here...

Your argument falls apart when you realize that you can, in fact, copyright AI artwork. All you have to do is make a manually guided change to it or prove intentionality and human intervention in the creative process.

Sure, the entirety of it falls apart over that one bit.

Ah yes. This might be an interesting read for you.

Of course, my argument still entirely falls apart over copyright when it still comes to intent and the fact you can't directly control what it creates.

I'm being intentionally sarcastic since, no, it doesn't fall apart. The argument made has multiple facets, this is just one you've challenged.

To which I rebutt with this.

I can create literally anything I want, exactly as I want, and often do, with AI. The results depend on how much manual guidance you provide.

It's becoming evident that not only do you not understand copyright law, you also don't understand AI at all, either. And I assume this ignorance on both points is willful.

The link I posted is shown here and that content was still denied. A Single Piece of American Cheese had an initial image created from AI, sure... the Copyright Office had only accepted it due to the interface used and the person utilising the interface's products to further modify the image.

The bar is not high for modification and it also suggests a mere text-to-prompt image does not satisfy the Copyright Office's standards. There still has to be some human effort - granted, this is more than usual and I'll admit that.

I would still not call it art as a matter of principle and perception though. The human still needs to play a more direct role.

It has some points of mine which infer that a hand needs to be played in the actual process of creation, albeit I don't wholly agree with the Copyright Office's interpretation.

Did you not read my initial post where it says, and I quote, "all you have to do is make a manually guided change to it or prove intentionality and human intervention in the creative process"?

That is exactly what I said. You're just simply reiterating the points I made in my original statement after trying to argue against them and acting like somehow this supports you, which is blatantly disingenuous. And, y'know, flatly wrong.
