With a regular logo, the designer has copyright law to back them up. Pure AI creations so not seem to get that protection

Isn't the fact that these are curated make them not "pure AI"? A human in the loop applied "their" design aesthetic to the selection process.

Didn't humans make AI?

This is a very new area where law has not caught up. Surely in any creative process (book author, painter) there is a process where the artist selects and omits elements before the final product.

Is not the selection and omission of poorly generated images the "human authorship" [1] necessary to qualify? Or can OP modify AI generated art meaningfully to qualify for copyright?

Additionally the choice of the model is an important choice too. Some AI art collections even make their own derivative models where a human picks extra images to train off of.

It reminds me of 3D art where there is a lot of up front work in making models, textures, armatures, and shaders. You send a ton of data to the GPU and it spits out a rendered image or more likely a tile of one.

Isn't the usual workflow "pay me and I'll make a logo for you", not "here's a bunch of premade logos for sale"?

Where is the usual workflow documented? I missed that memo.

Tell me you don't know what market analysis is without mentioning market analysis...

This is a cool project on technical merits but by commercializing it, you're begging for a lawsuit. I nearly-recognize a couple of your logos, which could be a problem for you. As you've almost certainly used non-free sources in your training set, you'll be defenseless if somebody comes after you for trademark infringement.

And, as somebody who has made logos in the past? I'd feel pretty secure in the knowledge that your "AI-generated" works are not protected, and dissatisfied with rasterized versions with all their weird artifacts. It would take very little time for me to make a vectorized version of one of your logos that would look way better and you would have no legal recourse. My only real fear would be that I'd be ripping off somebody else's logo.

I'd be curious to know which ones you "recognize"...I'm familiar with how my logos are produced, you aren't. Again with the assumptions.
