The office granted approval and said it determined the image "contains a sufficient amount of human original authorship in the selection, arrangement, and coordination of the AI-generated material that may be regarded as copyrightable."

This Company Got a Copyright for an Image Made Entirely With AI. Here's How

The image, called A Single Piece of American Cheese, was created using Invoke's AI editing platform.

The solution is one that I expected, but wasn't quite sure. And one that was one of the long-standing basics of open source algorithms. Which also means that my "Tiny Dancer" is copyrightable too.

Long before ChatGPT's "ghiblification" and Google's NanoBanana, Stable Diffusion had the inpainting and outpainting functions. Extend the canvas, leave transparent room for new details in the image, and the algorithm would fill them as ordered. Sure, it was clunky as fuck, but if you beat the machine over the head long enough, you'd get something resembling your idea. Particularly if you were fighting against the algorithm's weaknesses like incorrect keyword interpretations. And this, as it turns out, is enough "human creativity".

You can still cut the piece up for samples without asking anyone for permission, but you can't, for example, I2I it into a different style, or trace it to do the same by hand, because the complete piece is more than just the sum of its parts. Heh.
