rights to images generated with AI

There's a separate and interesting question: will I be allowed to submit Firefly generated images to Adobe Stock? Nobody knows what plans Adobe have, but one interesting point is - why should they pay other people for submitting AI stock images, when they own the engine, there is no copyright on the images, and they can generate them in-house...? 

That's a very interesting question. The general consensus seems to land on no.

Not because Adobe or anyone else has the rights to it, but because it's assumed there is in fact no creative activity going on at all. You're just pushing a button, right?

Now, I would assume that it's possible to use AI in an art context, but as a tool with a clear underlying artistic purpose. Where to draw the line might seem unclear - but to those who know their art history, Marcel Duchamp will be a natural reference point. In many of his works, he used chance and randomness as an artistic tool. The point is that they were just tools, not an end product. The end product was the idea.
