per Wikipedia
On September 21, 2022, Allen submitted an application to the us copyright office for registration of the image. Prior to the first formal refusal, the Copyright Office Examiner requested that the request would exclude any features of the image generated by Midjourney. Allen declined the request and requested copyright for the whole image.
So what I'm getting from that is his Photoshop edits aren't significant enough to constitute a copyrightable work on their own and the copyright office was right to deem it a non-human production.
I'm just happy someone at the copyright office knows what they're doing

Another idiot who thinks "prompt engineering" is a real skill and not just another step those companies are using idiots for free AI training.
You ask AI to draw a ninja turtle on a skateboard, and that "effort" they put into phrasing their request well enough for the AI to understand makes the AI learn the 10 past attempts were looking for what the 11th got
And now it won't take ten tries to go that route
Any "skill" by the user has a very short expiration date because the next version won't need it thanks to all the time users spent developing those "skills".
But no one impressed with AI is smart enough to realize that. And since they're the on s training the AI....
Idiots in, idiots out
"Promp engineering" is as useful skill as Google fu used to be.
I completely agree. I wonder whether some IT bachelor's degrees now have lessons in AI prompting. I remember in 2005 there was a course we had to do which could've been labeled "[shitty] Google-Fu" or something. "information searching" is what it would more or less translate to. Basically searching using Google and library searches well. And I don't mean "library" in the IT-context, but actual libraries. With books. Just had to use the search tools the locals libraries had.
Such a fucking filler class.
In my year like 60 started, two classes. After three years like 8 graduated.
It's kinda dead now due to enshittification but the vast majority of humans I've interacted with could use a class on how to use a search engine.
Edit- it could be made more modern by showing how to ignore sponsored stuff, blatantly SEO shit, AI shit, etc
Im old enough to have to learn to use AND, OR and NOT to be used on search engines.

I like the comment that said the AI is the artist and he's just a commissioner, makes perfect sense.

I said this when it was posted elsewhere- how is he calculating those millions of dollars?
RIAA and MPAA anti-piracy strategy, aka, made up bullshit.
It's easy. He chose an arbitrary number that was very big but just shy of 99% unrealistic, according to his own flawed judgement.

Not the Onion. This was unexpected...
eat shit dude
Ha! Not the onion was made for this headline!
Art is dead, dude. It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.
He made the art shown below. It's not even good lmao, why the fuck would you declare something like that if you make the shittiest looking AI art. What a fucking clown.
It looks cool from a distance, but it really falls apart when you look closer

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.
I'm hoping someone with actual talent paints the AI picture and then copyrights it

Think he'll try to use a llm as his lawyer?
I'm pretty sure there's a misspelling. It's spelled "douchebag" not "artist".
ChatGPT, show me the world's tiniest violin playing "No One Gives a Fuck" in A minor.

“Famous”?
Never heard of him.
The layers to irony in this case is almost too delicious.
Lol.
