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.

    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.

            It doesn’t matter what he argued. What matters is the judge’s decision, and that was about whether AI generated material is copyrightable in the first place. The judge agreed on a summary judgement based on the Copyright Office’s claims, not the plaintiff’s claims. That is legal precedent.

            Even the article you just linked to bears the headline:

            U.S. District Court Rules That AI-Generated Artwork Is Not Eligible for Copyright Registration
