Since AI will be used as a tools in art, tools are allowed and copyright is retained. But whats the agreed amount to retain copyright under USCO?
AI generation will be filling in gaps, offering suggestions, fine tuning, filling in effects, etc. Media will handily adopt it to speed up processes.
Maybe it's the amount of prompts given vs the ai generation. If you describe the scene, the characters, the look and feel, and the dialog, but AI generates the images? Thats just giving a book a visual to your story.
I have favorite sci-fi authors, in the future I could see AI generating movies based off the books, maybe starting as Anime until the technology can generate a full movie, or at least a graphic novel to start. That should probably retain copyright.
I'm also expecting AI to be implemented in music, offer suggestions, make modifications, until it can fully generate music. The cross over from tool usage to humanless music generation is where copyright most likely should end.
