Just a heads up Deviantart data entry specialists: "A federal judge on Friday upheld a finding from the U.S. Copyright Office that a piece of art created by AI is not open to protection." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/ai-works-not-copyrightable-studios-1235570316/

Whoa! This is a big deal, especially since so many are getting into AI : To those submitting AI work... know your output is no longer protected. You have no more rights to it as if someone else created it. Basically you are just a prompter giving instructions and since the actual 'artist' isn't human, it can't be copyrighted and others can use it however they'd like: "If a work's traditional elements of authorship were produced by a machine, the work lacks human authorship and the Office will not register it. For example, when an AI technology receives solely a prompt from a human and produces complex written, visual, or musical works in response, the “traditional elements of authorship” are determined and executed by the technology—not the human user." "...these prompts function more like instructions to a commissioned artist—they identify what the prompter wishes to have depicted, but the machine determines how those instructions are implemented in its output."
