AI=Created Art Isn't Copyrightable, Judge Says in Ruling That Could Give Studios Pause - The Hollywood Reporter

 As Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere today, the Panzermobile was shaken by clapping coming from outside. Following all the hoopla, took our little kitty pilot to The Hollywood Reporter site. There he found a post about AI-generated artwork and copyright.

 

I can't copyright my books. I'm a cat.

According to Winston Cho's post, a federal judge ruled that AI-created artwork can't be granted a copyright. The judge's reasoning is based on the fact a copyright can only be granted to human created artwork. The lawsuit was before the judge because the U.S. Copyright Office refused to grant a copyright for a piece of artwork generated by an AI not a human.

 

 Panzer says, "If it's true for AI-generated artwork, it's true for AI-generated books. No copyright for either."

Dall-E Opens Its AI Art Creation Tool To Everyone - CNet

Today, Panzer made a stop at the CNet site. With a little digging in the posts there our intrepid kitty traveler found one about AI artwork generator Dall-E. Last week Panzer posted about AI artwork generator MidJourney.

 

My number is private.

According to the post by Stephen Shankland, Dall-E is now open for use by everyone. The post includes several links to information about AI. There's also a link to signup for an account with Dall-E, but be prepared to provide your email address, your phone number.and receive text messages on your phone.

Panzer says, "Sorry. Mom doesn't give out her number and/or get texts, so we haven't used Dall-E."

AI Art For Authors - The Creative Penn

I'll get lost in all this information.

Today, Panzer found more information about AI generated artwork when he stopped in at The Creative Penn site. There our adventuresome kitty boy found a podcast interview segment titled Using AI For Art, Images, And Book Covers With Derek Murphy. Earlier this week Panzer told you about the problems some AI artwork creators have had using their work.

In the podcast author and The Creative Penn site owner Joanna Penn interviews author Derek Murphy about his writing and artwork and the uses of AI generated artwork. They also compare AI artwork generators MidJourney, DALL -E and Stable Diffusion.

 

The podcast is almost 60 minutes long. There's a transcript of the podcast included at the site.

MidJourney AI art for book cover design (how is this legal?) - Creativindie

Today's trip into the Catosphere took Panzer to the Creativindie site. There with a little digging in the posts our inquisitive kitty boy found a post about MidJourney AI artwork. Yesterday, Panzer told you about Getty Images removing all AI generated artwork from the site.

 

Can you tell I'm excited?

According to author Derek Murphy's post, there are reasons why authors need to make alterations to any AI generated artwork they plan to use for book covers. Not the least of these reasons is with the copyright problems he explains. Included in the post are numerous AI generated artworks he generated using MidJourney software.

 

Panzer says, "You will love the artwork in his post."

 

Note: This is a humongous post. You'll need to bring your lunch and your dinner for today's trip through AI land.

Why Getty Banned AI Images (For Now) - PlagiarismToday

A few days ago Panzer told you about the AI artwork site Craiyon and showed you the cat he generated there. Today, when he was tootling around in the Catosphere, he was surprised to see a post at the PlagiarismToday site about sites banning AI artwork.

 

According to the post by Jonathan Bailey, Getty Images and several other sites are removing/banning AI generated images/artwork from their sites.

 

Me worry? Cats don't worry.

Panzer says, "Makes this little kitty wonder, if it might cause trouble to use an AI image on a book cover."

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Fun

 

 

When Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere, he happened to find an interesting Artificial Intelligence (AI) site.

The AI software is called Craiyon. Using it you can create AI generated artwork like the cat above.

 

Unfortunately, the site doesn't have instructions for using the AI to create the artwork, but it is free to use.

 

Here's our instructions:

Put in your description in the top bar, click it and wait for it to generate your artwork. In one or two minutes it will generate several different thumbnails of your artwork. Click on each to enlarge. Decide which you like and click Screen Shot to download. You can pick as many as you like. You'll probably need to keep refining your instructions to get better results.

According to the Terms of Use the artwork you create is free for personal use. You can't use it for NFTs. If you use it for something you sell (t-shirts, etc.), the company gets a percentage of your sales. Be sure to read FAQ.

 

Panzer says, "It really is fun to play with."
