Why This Award-Winning Piece of AI Art Can’t Be Copyrighted::Matthew Allen’s AI art won first prize at the Colorado State Fair. But the US government has ruled it can’t be copyrighted because it’s too much “machine” and not enough “human.”

They will just churn out pictures from midjourney and hire a cheap artist to touch them up and then copyright that.

That's basically what they did for the intro to Secret Invasion on Disney+. They used AI to create it and then touched it up. It still looks like shit, much like the show itself.

That's an interesting thought, that could potentially create corporate day jobs for artists.

Edit: I don't believe in this idea, but thought it interesting. It's better for artists to exercise creativity.
