Diffusion:Guidelines: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:26, 18 August 2024

Creating AI-generated artwork has become very popular around the world, for better or worse. While the debate remains ongoing with regard to their usage, Caseyverse Wiki is generally permissive of these works, as they're used by many internally for fun or concept art, as well as to show illustrations of a creator's characters.

Guidelines

People who create AI-generated artwork, specifically Diffusion in this case, are generally considered "Directors" of the work, not "prompt engineers." From a traditional point of view, think of it as commissioning or requesting someone to make you a work, except in this case you are directing an AI to create something for you based on your instructions.

Pursuant to US court precedent and copyright office guidelines, when submitting AI-generated works, you hereby agree to relinquish any and all claims to copyright protection pertaining to the work itself, and all constituent elements thereof. This is due to the fact that, under current legal frameworks, the AI, in its present form, cannot be considered a legal entity capable of owning copyright. The exception to this rule applies to any copyrighted material incorporated into the AI-generated work that belongs to third-party authors, for the duration of their respective copyrights, unless explicitly waived under a license agreement such as Creative Commons Zero (CC0).

While all works are treated as such, it is strongly recommended to utilize them for non-commercial or personal purposes. The submission of AI-generated artwork constitutes acceptance of these guidelines.
