Comment on "This could cost people their jobs": VS Code added Copilot as co-author without permission or notice
roofuskit@lemmy.world 6 days agoIts well established law that human people must be the creator of a copyrighted work. There have even already been cases involving LLMs and other generative AI that have upheld the precedent.

Interesting.
I was actually going to argue that the monkey selfie lawsuit went against that but I double checked some sources and I was wrong. The court actually found exactly as you described and that since a non-human didn’t create the media it could not be copyrighted.
Today I learned… Thanks!
