Reply to comment by SkySake in US Copyright Office: You Can't Copyright Images Generated Using AI by vadhavaniyafaijan

Good question. If I go on the internet and find a copyrighted image and alter it to create a new image, under US law, that would still be copyright infringement.

But I would imagine that AI art will be treated more like public domain art. If I alter a public domain image I only own the copyright to the altered parts of the image. So I would imagine the same would go for AI art. Of course if you are the only person who ever saw the original AI art image then how does one know which is original and which is your own artistic addition?

There is still a lot of unsettled legal questions left to be answered.

It actually depends on the extent of the alteration and whether the result then falls into a protected class like parody
