A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The question "what is sufficient" basically amounts to convincing an official that the final work reflects some form of your creative expression.
So for instance, if you are hired to take AI-generated output and crop it to a 29:10 image, that probably won't be eligible for copyright. You aren't expressing your creativity, you are doing something anyone else could do.
On the other hand, if you take AI-generated output and edit it in photoshop to the point that everyone says "Hey, that looks like a ThunderingJerboa image", then you would almost certainly be eligible for copyright.
Everyone else falls in between, trying to convince someone that they are more like the latter case. Which is good, because it means actual artists will be rewarded.
