An artist who infamously duped an art contest with an AI image is suing the U.S. Copyright Office over its refusal to register the image’s copyright. 

In the lawsuit, Jason M. Allen asks a Colorado federal court to reverse the Copyright Office’s decision on his artwork Theatre D’opera Spatialbecause it was an expression of his creativity.

Reuters says the Copyright Office refused to comment on the case while Allen in a statement complains that the office’s decision “put me in a terrible position, with no recourse against others who are blatantly and repeatedly stealing my work.”

Let's say I've been an artist for 10 years. I take all my work and stick it into an AI model. That model starts generating images based on the art I've created in the past 10 years. Have I stopped being an artist because I put down the brush and picked up a keyboard?

How would a child produce the exact same image if they don't have my AI model?

You did not stop to be an artist, you just stopped to make art and every kid is able to recreate what you did, because all it have to do is type your name in prompts.

More than that, every kid drawing with a crayons on papers or on tablet is more creative than you this time.

That assumes you have a big enough data set to even make anything useful with just your art. And we know that that was not the case here

That's not the case here and I think the artist in the article has no claim to that image. I'm against the general idea that using AI instantly disqualifies someone as an artist, which is what the other person believes.

The moment your art was run through AI, it was no longer yours, and no longer art.

I’m done talking about this. I stated my point, my opinion, and I have no intention to change it. AI is garbage.

If you want to be the old man yelling how the world is changing for the worse, go ahead. You are entitled to your conservative opinion.

k. Thanks! I have been waiting for weeks for permission from an AI “artist” to be allowed to have an opinion on something.

You’ve helped me out a lot!
