Hey! Good news everyone! The #SupremeCourt, by declining to overrule the #Copyright Office, has declared that #AI art cannot be copyrighted.

It's bigger than just Thaler's case though. (links below) What this means is that NO AI created work can be copyrighted. Not code, not verbiage, not art, not anything.

Only human created works are eligible for copyright, so sayeth the High Court.

Cory ( @pluralistic) does a fantastic job of explaining the details and rounding up links. As he always does. Where he finds the hours in the day, I will never know. ;)

Archive link to #ArtNet because something on the page was blowing up my browser, but they have more details on the case itself, and the "art" in question which just saved real artists: https://archive.md/bsyrQ

@MissConstrue
I wonder if that goes for code as well? We know the big tech AI just slurped up billions of lines of code from github gitlab codeberg etc.
