And Now for Something Completely Different (Firebird Logo made by ChatGPT)

[F. D. Castel]

How about a new logo for Firebird in 2026? :)

I realize this might open a can of worms, but I asked ChatGPT to generate a new logo concept for Firebird and… 

Wow. 

Setting aside any potential legal implications or personal views, I found the result absolutely amazing (the core resembling a database icon left me completely speechless).

Just putting the idea out there, guys! don’t shoot the messenger.

Another (simpler) concept, also made by ChatGPT -- around one year ago -- for a personal project of mine, may be found here:

it surely used some of those “resolution enhancers” straight out of a Hollywood movie.

I don't see the need for a new logo, and I really don't see the need for
an AI generated logo.

PS It looks like an image I've seen before, but I can't recall where
(and it might not have been Firebird related). That could be an
IP/copyright can of worms in that case

Quite possible because these stock pictures are copyrighted:

On the other hand it is explicitly stated by OpenAI that any content
generated by ChatGPT is not copyrighted.

Please, NEVER post such huge attachments

If you are sued for infringement on someone else's copyright, the fact
your image doesn't have any is not relevant, what is relevant is if you
did infringe or not on the copyright on the image of the other party.

Besides, that statement of OpenAI seems rather to mean that *they* don't
claim copyright on the output, not that you as the user can't (try to)
claim copyright.

And whether you as the user (person instructing the AI) can claim
copyright on the image is legally unclear, though on a recent case in
Germany, the court ruled that AI generated images are not copyrightable.
So, within the EU that is now case law, but that could change,
especially as case law tends to be reinforced, refined, or torn down
with more cases on the subject.
