Diffusion:Guidelines: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:25, 19 August 2024

Creating AI-generated artwork has become a global phenomenon, sparking both enthusiasm and controversy. While the debate surrounding its use continues, Caseyverse Wiki largely embraces these works, recognizing their value for internal fun, concept art, and illustrating creators’ characters.

Guidelines

On this Wiki, individuals who create AI-generated artwork, specifically Diffusion models, are generally considered “Directors” of the work, rather than “Prompt Engineers.” This perspective aligns with traditional commissioning practices, where an individual requests a piece from an artist. In this case, the “Director” provides instructions to guide the AI in generating the desired artwork. As with all aspects of Caseyverse, submitted AI artwork falls under the same copyright waiver as other wiki content. However, we strongly encourage users to prioritize non-profit or personal applications for these works.

Copyright

Beyond this Wiki’s general copyright waiver, contributors submitting AI-generated artwork, particularly those utilizing Diffusion models, agree to relinquish any copyright claims to the work itself and its constituent elements. This stance acknowledges the current legal understanding that AI systems, as they exist today, cannot independently claim ownership of creations due to their nature as computer programs executing instructions.

However, it is crucial to note that copyrighted material belonging to other authors remains protected. Any AI-generated artwork incorporating such elements retains the original copyright unless explicitly licensed under provisions like Creative Commons Zero (CC0).

Given the complexities and evolving nature of copyright law, particularly regarding AI-generated content, these legal considerations may prove advantageous in the long term. Despite the ethical dilemmas surrounding AI art creation, the public domain status potentially afforded to such works could foster greater accessibility and creativity within the Caseyverse community and beyond.

-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).
