Can You Copyright Work Made by Artificial Intelligence?

I'm not sure I agree. I think this is different than, say, a laser printer that just spits out my creative work.

An AI isn't necessarily under control of the person that owns it.

Who do you think owns the copyright of the famous monkey photo? It was the monkey that composed and took the shot. The person who owned the camera had no control over the creative aspects of the shot.

I've commented about this elsewhere in the thread, but basically, it can be argued that a monkey is a conscious being, capable of original thought, whereas the same can't be said about AI/ML.

an AI is nothing but a model. It only creates the illusion of creating because we are incapable of calculating as much and as fast as they can, but ultimately the product is just the result of the model, and the model is a tool made by the human.

Friendly reminder not to treat AI like humans. Ever.

Is there any evidence that our consciousness isn't just the result of computation as well? Is there anything to suggest that we actually have free will and make choices?
