If that company has people curating the results, then they have a reason to exist and they would have a valid copyright.
If the company is just feeding customer prompts into an AI, then there’s no copyright, but also no value added vs just using stable diffusion or a hosted service yourself.
I just think any AI image that can’t be copyrighted wouldn’t be worth buying a license for anyway, since that implies no human was involved in creating it.
To be clear, you’d give the company that owns the machine money.
Except that it sounds like no, you wouldn’t by this court case, right?
I agree. :)
