RE: What's Your Stance On Generated AI Artwork? Does It Have A Place on Hive?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

if I generate that art with some prompts that I just randomly think, does that art instantly belong to me?

I looked up copyright for DreamStudio (Stable Diffusion). In short, it seems that art belongs to everyone. Heh. I'll paste what I found below. As far as everything else regarding generated art, I say bring it on.

To be honest, I haven't got the faintest idea how copyright works for AI art. If somebody wants to take my generative art and make a buck, then I hope they send me a bit of hive my way, or at least a thank you note, but I prefer hard cold hive. ;)
