I have, like the article author presumably also does, a profund doubt as to whether generated works of this kind can be free of any copyright as long as the tool used is itself created using myriads of copyrighted works (as training data). I certainly do not trust the claims of the tool creators; they have all the incentive to ignore any copyright problems in order to get a tool which is usable.

And, as the article states:

> But seriously, how creative and original can you be with something that is trained on the works of millions of other creators?

> To me, it is unclear whether you can actually call these works your 'own' at all, because there's always someone else's touch on it.

> […] users of DALL-E will also never be sure whether they are generating something that is 'theirs' or just a knockoff of someone else's work.
