AI Image Generators are a New Frontier of Copyright Confusion.

Following an extensive debate that sees two digital artists Kris Kashtanova and Brian Penny as protagonists, a question has arisen: one that has so far been relegated behind the scenes of any disquisition. Both subjects are exponents of the panorama dedicated to generative art; having met online, they had the opportunity to collaborate with Adobe through the creation of visual content intended to become part of the company's stock, but their relationship soon fell apart. As a result of some discrepancies, only Kashtanova established a professional relationship with Adobe, thus causing a firm response from Penny.

The situation became universal when the discussion was published online, thus arousing a strong doubt in the generative art scene: How do you handle copyright laws for artists who use AI services as tools in their work?

The Law does not go hand in hand with the development of art, thus leading to a number of problems that are not yet solvable. Until now, the approval of Copyright has always been based on a fundamental notion: the work in question must have been produced by human hand. But how does this statement persist when a machine sits between the human and the work?
