I probably could have worded it better. To answer your point, creating an object using a machine is not a creative process by the definition used in this context, unless you put your creativity in it too. It’s the difference between creating a dress based on your own design and making it based on someone else’s. The ownership comes from the ideation, not the machanical process used to make the dress. The key difference between AI and other tools is that it replaces the creative part of the process, thus removing the human factor. As a side note, most of the time the end product contains both elements generated with AI and others done by humans. How much human contribution is required for it to be considered a creative work will probably be up to courts and lawmakers I’m afraid. On a more ideological note, one could argue that AI models were created using basically the entirety of humanity works, often without compensating the ones holding the rights to such works, and thus should be owned by all humanity.
