The model is just a tool, like Photoshop. Adobe doesn't own your designs, and OpenAI shouldn't own your art. The human making creative choices owns the output.

The person shaping the output deserves the rights. The model is a tool, not the artist—ownership should follow creative direction and meaningful edits.

You wouldn't give Adobe the copyright for a graphic designed in Photoshop. The person driving the creative vision through the prompt deserves the ownership.

Humans who prompt or edit the image own the copyright—they're the ones driving the creativity. The AI is just a tool, like Photoshop on steroids.
