thank you for an excellent seminar

All AI created works should include notification/disclosures that states 'this is an AI created work and/or AI Assisted work'.

[@TravisLee33]

The lines between something written by a human and an AI will become very blurred. Which isn't necessarily a bad or good thing. It's an ever changing work, people will adjust. Ideas are everywhere we are used to having ownership of these ideas, in the future it may be harder to continue thinking we can fully own an idea.

@@TravisLee33 If 'ownership' and the law which evolved from it become irrelevant ... will we be happy? (*__*)

[@TravisLee33]

@@virtly2159 Yeah there are a lot of unknowns. All we can do is speculate. I'm with you though.
