  • So if I use a hammer to create art I can’t protect it because I used a hammer? Exchange hammer for AI

    Only if it is some sort auto-magic hammer that you can give a description of what you want, but the hammer actually decides what the final piece of art looks like and produces it on the medium without you needing to make the strikes.

    Now if you took the output of that auto-magic hammer and than significantly reworked it to meet your vision, that derivative output would be copyrightable.

    Giving a description of what you want doesn’t count as producing it is what this seems to be saying. Which is not in favor of people who just want to plug random things into a black box to use that black box as a cash machine.

    This also means that the person who owns the black box can’t steal ownership of your output by merely being the owner of the black box. This would be equivalent to you leasing a printer and the company you’re leasing it from saying they own anything you print.

    So good ruling. You can copyright the output if YOU rework the output, but you can’t copyright the direct output.



  • For reference, fifth graders are usually around 10 or 11 years old. Gifted or not they’re almost certainly intelligent enough for this topic.

    I disagree enough to stop lurking and made an account to comment.

    Our 8 year old knows that “some people feel they are boys, some feel they are girls, and some don’t feel like they are either.” Honestly it’s not more difficult than that unless you’re purposely making it so.

    Also 5th grade is when we (suburban school district in the US) had a district-wide “basic sex ed” information night for students. How is educating about sex okay but not gender for the same age?

    They’re are age appropriate ways to talk about these topics to kids like these, and age appropriate materials.
