    Copyright just isn’t compatible with AI, we need to abolish it.

    If a picture gets generated, who is the owner? The one writing the prompt? The AI that generated it? The researchers that created the AI? The artist on which the picture is based?

    How about none of them? It is a picture, a piece of information. It doesn’t need an owner.
