Resources: AI Content
Remember, the key to getting the most out of your GenAI experience is to ask the right questions in the right way. When crafting prompts, we must understand the basic principles of who, what, where, when, when, why, how, and for whom to maximize the incredible power of these capabilities.
All of these can hallucinate, which means make things up, so trust but verify.

Copyright
AI-generated art images do not receive copyright protection because they lack human authorship. Copyright laws are designed to protect original works created by human authors, granting them exclusive rights to use and distribute their creations. As a machine, AI does not possess creativity, intention, or consciousness, which are essential qualities that copyright law considers when determining authorship. Since AI-generated work does not result from human creativity and intellectual effort, it cannot be attributed to a human author and, therefore, cannot be granted copyright protection. This distinction ensures that copyright laws continue to support and incentivize human creativity and innovation.
Midjourney - free to fee
This runs on Stable Diffusion’s AI model. It is similar to Dall-E. For the first couple of years, the way users interacted with Midjourney was through Discord, a forum that made it cumbersome to use. However, Midjourney has recently released a website interface making it more intuitive for users to create images.
