Ask HN: Stable Diffusion: Who owns the copyright to images made on a local PC?

Side question (let's set aside for a moment the issues about the underlying data set and photoshop editing), is the generation deterministic?

I mean, given a set of prompts (text) to a specific engine, will the same set of prompts on the same engine after - say - one week produce a same image?

Or in the meantime changes on the data set or whatever will generate a different image?

Yes it is deterministic, and it's beautiful, now works of art will be forever recoverable by prompt/seed/inputs.

Even if ipfs and cloudflare loose your jpg, as long as civ is humming, and SD is runnable somewhere, your art will live. Forever

Using the same seed value and sampling method with the same every other value... Yes. It's the same. Time changes nothing.

So - in theory - one could copyright the exact prompt (and seed)?

It wouldn't be much different from copyrighting a short poem or the lyrics of a song.
