@ShadSterling@mastodon.social I think that's a common misconception, these AI models almost never work in a way analogous to that. To carry on the analogy about finding a photo spot (where "I" am acting like the AI now), it would be if I looked at the google image results to learn what the place looked like, then stepped over to a canvas and painted a picture of what I remembered.
A novel work is being created, but yes also one that is intrinsically derivative of the work of others.

@ShadSterling@mastodon.social But that's pretty on par with what human artists need to do. Consider not the scenic photo spot, but instead something like a dragon--there's no real-world example an AI or human could draw from, they need to make reference to existing art. I think that's all still mostly tangential to the issue of authorship and creative/artistic input. The AI/camera are backboxes, that take inputs and allow for creative input in turning those inputs to outputs.
