MATT GROWCOOT , PetaPixel; Artist Who Duped Art Contest With AI Image Has Copyright Application Rejected
"An artist who rose to notoriety for winning first place in a fine art competition with an AI-generated imagehas had his application for protection rejected by the U.S. Copyright Office.
Jason Allen made headlines around the world last year when the Colorado State Fair awarded his AI-generated artwork, Theatre D’opera Spatial, first place in the digital art/digitally manipulated photography category of the Fine Art competition. Allen was unrepentant for his actions, saying “I’m not stopping now.”
True to his word, he now wants Theatre D’opera Spatial to be afforded copyright protection, but, true to its word, the Copyright Office has rejected the application because the picture is not a product of human authorship."
