With speech bubble:

I made these initially for my personal use, but now I’m curious to see what you will make out of them.

Here are my own creations. All done with manual editing via GIMP:


(Trans Rights)


(Esperanto)


(Pakistan)


(Soviet Union) (Note that I’m not a USSR supporter, I made this one for shits and giggles)


(Anarcho-Communism)


(Nonbinary)


(Sapphic)

Made using Pony Diffusion V6 XL, a Shane Glines LoRA, and quite some inpainting and manual editing.

        I am curious how far that actually goes.

        Just to name a few of potential edge cases that i think can still be copyrighted.

        • manually edited ai generations (like op)

        • the text prompt and custom workflow used to generate

        • a collage of specific ai generations expressed as a single work of art.

          The precedent so far is that you can only copyright the things you actually had a majority influence in creating. So if the AI did most of the work, you can’t copyright it. You can copyright the parts of it that were your sole creation, like pasting your logo on top of AI images, but the image itself is not copyrightable.

          Who knows whether that precedent will survive, though. Laws in the US don’t really mean anything anymore.

            You’re spreading misinformation. There hasn’t been any ruling or precedent. The copyright office issued guidance, which reflects only the office’s interpretation based on its experience. It isn’t binding in the courts and guidance from the office is not a substitute for legal advice, nor it does not create any rights or obligations for anyone. They are the lowest rung on the ladder for deciding what law means.

            More importantly, the copyright office has been hosting public listening sessions asking for public comments for some time now in an effort to evolve their understanding of the subject.

            Here is a link to the actual guidance and an open letter by artists if you care to read it.

              There has been a ruling issued by a judge:

              https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/21/arts/design/copyright-ai-artwork.html

              And official statements from the copyright office:

              https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/02/us-copyright-office-withdraws-copyright-for-ai-generated-comic-artwork/

              They pretty much said what I said:

              “We conclude that Ms. Kashtanova is the author of the Work’s text as well as the selection, coordination, and arrangement of the Work’s written and visual elements,” reads the copyright letter. “That authorship is protected by copyright. However, as discussed below, the images in the Work that were generated by the Midjourney technology are not the product of human authorship.”

                Read that again.

                The case was unique because an inventor named Stephen Thaler listed his computer system as the artwork’s creator, arguing that a copyright should be issued and transferred to him as the machine’s owner. After the U.S. Copyright Office repeatedly rejected his request, Thaler sued the agency’s director.

                He tried to get copyright for a computer as the author. Copyright is something only humans can hold. This is something entirely different.

                  Read the actual decision:

                  The decision was that the work was not copyrightable in the first place because it was made without human involvement.

                  No misinformation here.

    Pakistan as one of the flags is somehow funny to me amongst the other flags.

    But I do like the art style, even the background is beautiful.

    Edit: I’m also shocked at how many of us Pakistanis are on Lemmy.

      Idk, I haven’t met anyone else who’s said they’re Pakistani other than you.

        Ive met about 10-12, some of whom I also now occasionally talk to on signal. At some point I’m gonna have to make a Lemmy Pakistan avengers.

        Hell I’ve seen you around often too, just didn’t know where you were from.

          I guess they’re mostly on dbzer0 like you are… seeing as many (ex-)r/Piracy users prefer that instance.

          Personally I chose discuss.tchncs.de as I didn’t really want to join one of The Big Instances (don’t forget the point of federation), and I’ve had good experiences using other tchncs.de services myself.

          But once you’ve chosen an instance, it doesn’t matter that much anyway, due to, again, federation. So yeah 🙃

            Oh wait we’ve talked on signal too 😂. Completely forgot, I knew I remembered your name from somewhere. You’re definetely on a good instance though.

            Personally I use literature.cafe and sopuli.xyz just as much if not more.

            Although I still have some sense of loyalty to dbzer0 since it was my first Lemmy account.
