    Copyright is incompatible with AI, and they know it. If an image gets generated, who can be seen as the owner?

    • The person who wrote the prompt?

    • The AI who used its knowledge to generate the image?

    • The researcher who developed the AI?

    • The multiple artists on which the work is based?

    Those Copyright Offices are on the precipice of being deemed useless. This is one of their final struggles to stay relevant.
