Extract given below talks of Copyright being withdrawn for the comic book "Zarya of the Dawn", produced entirely with images using AI tool called Midjourney. If I get an AI generated article published, will it enjoy copyright?

//AI Business: AI-Generated Comic Book Could Lose Copyright Protection. "The Copyright Office (USPTO) granted protection to Kris Kashtanova for the comic book titled Zarya of the Dawn in September.... However, the USPTO has now informed Kashtanova that it has initiated a proceeding to revoke the protection, saying copyrightable works require human authorship."//

My God,our very faculty of creativity is getting mechanized.The ultimate catastrophe of feelings and emotions devoid stories and songs etc,the pieces which editors prize as they are precise,concise and inhuman,the ultimate nightmare the complete death of creativity.

Here is the complete book of 18 pages of the comic book Kashtanova.

Looks fine, I can not imagine it was produced by AI !!

I wish to remind you that AI itself is a product of the human brain only.

There are self learning mechanisms built in and therefore one day it may outgrow our expectations / limitations!

Yesterday I saw the movie Endiran - story of a robot that destroys itself in the end as the robot realises it has started having feelings / emotions!

Sir, Still they are from patterns of human brain functions, supervised or unsupervised. There is still a bit of "logical" element in it. Again past patterns. May be the processing power will increase with neuromorphic computing to analyse more precise predictions but whether it will supercede human brain is to be seen.

This is because human brain has emotional wisdom as pointed by you in addition to logical wisdom. That is why we in Tamizh say Meyyarivu or true wisdom which makes you identify emotionally with the universe, divine, cosmos etc. The rest of wisdom is of lower order.

Emotional flows are not precise and mechanical.They blunder and blunder.That was why the editors previously killed and killed most writings,including the greatest pieces.Emotions are felt and mathematics fails to quantify emotions.Can you imagine a husband or wife expressing the editor approved precise thoughts for intimacy?I cannot imagine a worse hell.

Opinions and actions should be based on reason and knowledge rather than on religious belief or emotional response.

How do you expect authors and artists to welcome AI that is competing with them and trying to outsmart them?

Sane ones will welcome AI intervention and use it as supplement to come up with better stories in a shorter time. AI will grow irrespective of their support! Same applies to doctors who can do better diagnosis using AI
