Artificial Intelligence and Copyright: Request for comments
I&#x27;m going to try to plead my case for images generated using sophisticated prompt engineering to be copyrightable. For example, at the point that I&#x27;ve written a prompt with 20 tags, 10 negative prompt tags, some loras, custom weights, embeddings merges, and prompt editing, I&#x27;m now writing what is effectively a &quot;program&quot;, which should be copyrightable and so should its outputs.<p>It&#x27;s total BS to me that a book of midjourney generated images is itself copyrightable because a human arranged the book together, but that a highly sophisticated prompt involving custom tooling wouldn&#x27;t be.<p>If nothing else, my comments should show the US Patent Office how deep the rabbit-hole goes with just how interpolatable everything is with everything else.
