The technology embeds an imperceptible identifier into the pixels of AI-created or AI-modified photos, which humans cannot see but software can detect.
The United States Copyright Office has released a much-anticipated report clarifying how US copyright law applies to artwork created with the help of artificial intelligence. The takeaway: if an AI-generated image includes enough original creative input from a human, it can be eligible for copyright – at least partially.
I have always been a person who works smarter, not harder. Now that AI is everywhere, I’ve started to see where I can benefit from its use. This made me think: Can I leverage ChatGPT and ask it to help me create adjustment settings for Lightroom based on an idea?
