Take note of the qualifier entirely. If you're working with an agent steering it to produce the results you want, it would be an entirely different story.

Wheres the limit. Would a prompt "Create a system that does x" and no other feedback count? Or do need to do 10 prompts to steer your agent to the results you want. What about just 1 additional prompt. Somewhere there will be a line.

  • Legal systems are fuzzy. The limit will be what courtrooms decide. There will never be a ">75% of content" law, everything will be left to interpretation, laws are not source code.

a bit further down ...

> Neither mere prompting nor the selection between several AI suggestions is sufficient as a human creative contribution.

which reads like you actually have to contribute by modifying the output from the system, i.e. prompts/inputs to the system do not count as a human contribution.

  • If you modify the output, you don’t magically get copyright on the whole output, only the section you modified

    • if you modify enough of the output as to make it unrecognizable as the machine output -- that's a new work created by a human. i.e. you don't have to change every line.

      same thing applies to sampling in music. if i change enough of a sample as to make it unrecognizable, then i don't need to worry about registering/licensing the sample.

More importantly, take note of:

> Munich Local Court has held that

Local Court in Germany is the equivalent of the Magistrates Court in the UK or Australia.

Definitely not the arbiter of ultimate truth.

Is working with an agent different than constantly editing an image with fine tuning prompts? Both can be entirely generated.
