I MADE THIS. DIDN’T I?
Authorship, Ownership and Creative Control in AI Filmmaking
A short, dense talk about authorship and ownership in work where part of the job is done by a model. Ben Chimoy asks what the sentence I made this actually means once the tool suggests, corrects and finishes. This is not about law but about agency: where your contribution ends, at what point you stop being the author and become the editor, and whether that line can be drawn honestly at all, both to yourself and to the audience.
