[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9137772, member: 7035894"] This is almost certainly not true, and there is a widespread misconception about this point. First, note that we are talking about US copyright law. Secondly, even within US law, AI work cannot be copyrighted ONLY if there is considered to be insufficient human creativity included in the process: "a work containing AI-generated material may be copyrightable where there is sufficient human authorship, such as when a human selects or arranges AI-generated material in a creative way or modifies material originally generated by AI technology. Ultimately, copyright protection will depend on whether the AI’s contributions are “the result of mechanical reproduction,” or they reflect the author’s “own mental conception"...“The answer will depend on the circumstances, particularly how the AI tool operates and how it was used to create the final work."" In this case, where an artist created original art and then used AI to "enhance it" there would almost certainly be "sufficient human authorship" and evidence of "the author's own mental conception." There is really no question that either they or WotC or both would have owned the work, depending on the terms of their contract. So copyright was likely not a motivating factor. Which is obvious, when you think about it, as artists and other creatives have been using various types of AI to enhance work for decades now without losing ownership of their work. [/QUOTE]
