AI art is basically the same as 3D art. You can use premade models by other people and edit it to be however you want. You can look at Getting Over It and Only Up, both games made with asset store stuff but very different quality.
That being said, copyright is garbage anyways. People went thousands of years with their folk stories being told and retold, imagine how many would have been cut short because somebody "owned" that story.
100% agree. trash copyright laws. all of them. keep patent laws: 7 years max and not transferable from original individual(s). if the company wants to keep the idea they can pay the person(s) that created them.
copyright was supposed to fund new works of art by funding the original creator. that was a jewish lie. what these laws have done is enrich middlemen, speculators, and lawyers.
Yeah a small period like that is fine. Most of the money is made during that period anyways. Being able to buy the copyright for something with none of the original creators involved is very nonsensical.
The Constitution says "...securing for limited times to authors..." The original copyright law in the U.S. was for 7 years and allowed a one time extension for another 7 years. I think that's reasonable. The current law is ridiculous though, life of the author plus 70 years. There's no way that life+70 is a "limited time".
I tend to agree considering the current broken state of law, though I think the "middlemen, speculators, and lawyers" is the real crux of the problem here, so take that out of the equation and I'm actually fine with a perpetual copyright for the life of the author - as long as he's still selling the original work. Revised editions don't count, and no transferring to other parties. (but feel free to license exclusive rights to a big company while you're alive)
I agree with this. The people using IP to the insane levels they are now make art creation difficult. Art means trading ideas back and forth to create a new form, not greedily hiding it away and barely using it.
On the other hand, if we got rid of the copyright laws and all that, there would be a shit porn version of Mario Bros on PS5 tomorrow. Companies want to destroy IP laws so they can squander good stories and ideas.
It doesn't matter what you do, there will always be an asshole.
It should only take a modicum of human input to make at least the final product copyrightable. I suppose it would be a derivative work of the AI, but we just said the AI portion doesn't get copyright.

There's no such thing as taking reality out of the equation.
That's why you draft laws while taking into consideration how it could be abused.
Murphy's Law and all that.
Just make it a set number of years.
Making it for the life of the author means that amoral "middlemen, speculators, and lawyers" would just kill you if it's cheaper than licensing.
