@erincandescent @fay Yes, that's the problem. The big AI companies are *hoping* that the output is considered a copyright dervative of its inputs because *they are the only ones who can play that game*. They can make license deals with the big media companies AND everywhere you've been coerced into signing your rights over to with a ToS. And in fact THEY HAVE BEEN making these deals, in the hope this will be the result!
Trying to fight AI models on copyright grounds is a losing battle for us and a winning battle for big AI corporations, unfortunately.
That said *we simply don't know* how things will go, so *don't incorporate AI output into your projects today*!
