AI have no rights. Your AI creations are right-less. They belong in the public domain. If not, they are properties of the peoples whose art you stole to make the AI.

Good thing no artist ever uses other art as inspiration to create their work… oh wait. Just like a human artist AI looks at a shit ton of reference material that influences the thing they make. AI might do it faster but people do the same thing and AI only they can only scrape digitized art where humans have the whole width and breadth of life and multiple senses they can use to influence their art.
If an AI can make art that can compete against you then you shouldn’t be a professional artist just like if you cant make a better cup of coffee than a vending machine you shouldn’t be a barista.
I would say the issue is a bit more Complex™.
In one case, if I use a generally available program like Stable Diffusion with a generally available model and generate images with it, should I be able to copyright the product because of the combination of prompts and configuration that I used? I am not definitive on this but I am leaning towards no.
On the other hand, if an organization uses a proprietary algorithm, trains a model on its using using stolen art, etc., they would have a more of a case of copyright in my opinion. My gut says “no” for a variety of reasons but there is more of a case.
Tldr: abolish copyright
