> But the technology will decide the rhyming pattern, the words in each line, and the structure of the text.

What if I generate it 50 times and cobble together a final product from the variants, choosing which line and word and rhyme I like from each sample? Where is the line between LLM and thesaurus/dictionary?

The comic book the office rejected seems to me to have crossed a line of significant human editorial discrediting after the generative fact, and they didn’t care.



The document addresses that:

> In other cases, however, a work containing AI-generated material will also contain sufficient human authorship to support a copyright claim. For example, a human may select or arrange AI-generated material in a sufficiently creative way that “the resulting work as a whole constitutes an original work of authorship.”


Pretty sure the office said the arrange of the book was itself protectable but the individual images were not.

Didn’t the author claim to be photoshopping and compositing the images themselves?

If I render 6 characters, composite them into a background and run the complete composite through another generative step to clean it up, where do I fall?


They allowed the comic book author to copyright the accompanying text and the overall arrangement of the images into a comic book, but not the images themselves.


Soup anyone?
