Free Output – AI output copyright status checker

Very interesting tool yet completely irrelevant for the United States as AI generated content is not eligible for copyright protection by anyone (pending appeal). As it stands y’all may not like this reality, but it’s quite clear in legal terms. Claiming an AI generated work is protected by copyright simply doesn’t matter regardless of which entity is asserting the right at present.

What's the practical use of this? The AI doesn't know if the output is sufficiently different from the training material. If the output you get matches pre existing content, the license these AI companies give you won't save you.

I guess I thought that If an image was generated by these tools, at least in the US, the copyright office did not consider it to have any copyright at all, therefore it was by default public domain?

It claims that OpenAI output is &quot;free&quot;, but the OpenAI ToS says (among other things)<p>&gt; You are prohibited from ... Using Output to develop models that compete with OpenAI.<p>If this were a software license, it&#x27;d surely be classified as nonfree.

just found FreeOutput, a website that compares AI providers based on whether they assign copyright to the user.

Wrong about OpenAI because it has a customer noncompete

Oh I thought this was actually going to try to check if your output actually matched any copyrighted material, which would be useful.<p>Oh well.
