That's an interesting thought. I would also think that if the input was copyrighted literature, then the output; should also maintain the same attribution? Curious to see how they would rule on that.

Afaik, AI Art tools have not been able to declare that the art used to build their models were copyright-free or that they otherwise had the rights to use them. Given that, I would whole-heartedly agree that images generated from these models, like in the post, should not be copyright-able. These images can still be used as reference or as 'models' or tools for traditionally copyright-able work. But just entering in the suggestion shouldn't be the copyright imo.

I hate when a question is framed this way. As if we can only act reactively to a problem to feel accomplished.
Preventing obvious abuses should always be a goal when writing legal policy.
There have been abuses in the past. I'd encourage you to look them up.

I think it's worth noting that the only way the Rebels knew where the port was, was because R2-D2 made it back with the Death Star blueprints. Considering how incredibly difficult that should be (and was since they had to escape the Death Star itself as well). The trench run just otherwise couldn't be possible.

"the parasite spreads itself by infecting the nervous system of rodents, causing them to become suicidally attracted to feline odors which will increase the likelihood of their hosts being eaten by cats,"

This sounds like a hack or a cheat for pandemic 2.

Well... that's debatable too.

Search for this line:
" A millionaire who works in the coal industry, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said the main push behind his plans to emigrate is China's test-centric school system, often criticized for producing students who can pass exams but who lack skills for the world of work. "

You don't need a survey to guess how much slashdotters use computers. I think it's implied we're all on computers, probably more than we should be.
