I read our April discussion on AI crochet patterns, but started another topic to address intellectual copyrights. If I create an image in an AI program such as Microsoft Copilot, and then paste Meredithbead jewelry onto my AI “model” — who has intellectual rights to this picture? I know I’m OK with private use, but what if I’m using this image to sell a product, even though I’m not selling the AI image itself? I would make the actual product, take pictures of the product, and paste my pictures onto an AI generated model. Ethically, I see no difference between this and taking pictures on a mannequin, but are there legal stipulations? ---

> [@meredithbead](#): > > but are there legal stipulations? Probably not yet because AI is so new and essentially unregulated. I believe the various AI tools do have terms of use / conditions and the last time I checked ChatGPT there didn’t seem to be any limitations of use of what it generates. ---

Note well that the U.S. Copyright Office has a policy that there is no copyright protection for works created by non-humans, including machines. So, your AI-created image cannot be copyrighted, but one that you edit and modify, even slightly, in some noticeable and tangible way, **CAN** be copyrighted, even if what you started out with was AI-generated. So, tweak the images, and remember to file that copyright, on both the images and the listing text. ---

Pretty crazy what ChatGPT comes up with. We have a subscription for the business. Typed in - “create a picture showing a woman drinking a fizzy drink on the beach” - 10 seconds later, you get this: Yea, looks fake, but not really if you didn’t think that this was possible. ![image](https://sellersasksellers.com/uploads/default/original/2X/6/62eae5053800c711109395a30969f61f34dc6d1b.jpeg) ---

“I 🫶 escaping to the deserted early morning beach to drink my Alka Seltzer in peace after a sleepless night and no help, far from the husband and six alternately sick/scared kids in one hotel room who make it necessary.” ---
