AI have no rights. Your AI creations are right-less. They belong in the public domain. If not, they are properties of the peoples whose art you stole to make the AI.

Rough translation snippet from the WeChat post linked on Twitter:
- On the determination of intellectual achievement: "From the plaintiff's conception of the picture in question to the final selection of the picture in question, the entire process, the plaintiff has made a certain amount of intellectual input, such as designing the presentation of the characters, choosing the prompt's wording, arranging the order of the prompt's words, setting up the relevant parameters, and selecting which picture is in line with the user's expectations, etc.". The picture in question reflects the plaintiff's intellectual input, so the picture in question has the element of "intellectual achievement"."
This is indeed a very rare China L.
TIL if I make a program that just takes the Mona Lisa from a file and gives me back the Mona Lisa in another file with a bit of random noise attached that's now my IP as long as there was a text prompt where you have to write "Adult woman, oil painting, Renaissance, smile, landscape background, art, sunny."
Yeah it's a bullshit ruling that is probably going to be reversed at some point in the future once public opinion demands it after enough artists have been fkd over. I swear a lot of courts right now are making decisions based on what-ifs rather than what these technologies actually do.
I'm going with this, part of me thinks this just one of those rulings that will be touted as a "contrast" to the USA. Could be wrong though.
Maybe they can use it for leverage against the inherent lunacy of IP.
The west spends a lot of time kvetching about China "stealing IP". But if we get to a point where China is complaining about purloined copyrights-- in a sector that's a huge goldrush darling right now-- it might reduce Western eagerness to pick a fight.
That would be funny, but who knows what will happen. We just have to wait and see how seriously they uphold this IP stuff for AI "art"
Assuming judges even comprehend what the technologies do (not that I do, either, but I don't have a gavel). TBF this is China so maybe things are different. But in the west, we've had judges making political economic decisions without any grasp of the fundamentals of political economy for decades/centuries, so…
AI Art is Copyrightable but only if your prompt is at least 1000 characters long.
