Well yeah but typically that goes unnoticed. Fountains are bit different.

Potentially, but that's far from settled law in this space. I would guess Disney is taking a conservative stance on this until that is settled. Plus, Disney will need to decide which side of this argument it wants to be on (though it's lobbyists are probably pushing for favorite regulation to have as much cake that can be eaten too with the Copyright office and USPTO). The courts are somewhat more difficult to buy out.
However, there are still plenty of ways to use AI to save costs without going to the place we're all discussing.

Setting aside the content of the show the way these barges will work together; the bigger ones carrying the smaller ones out so they can be spread out is pretty cool logistically. Assuming it functions as intended the team who thought this up should be given props.

As cool as that sounds, they're probably trying to prevent the inevitable comparison of Luminous to RoE. The Inferno barge in action probably looked more impressive than a bunch of scattered isopar shooters (see WoC).

It would be a really cool effect if there was a sort of delayed effect causing a "wave" throughout the flame throwerers. Either that or having fire shoot out at a sideways angle too. Either way this show is going to look really impressive with how far out the barges are spread out

I saw the new barge in person yesterday and it looked so much better than the tacos!

I'm having a hard time seeing how the Fed circuit decision survives long term. It creates a very blurry situation as to where the line is between human creation and AI generated creation. Even AI generated music requires human inputs (prompts) which influence the output of the computer generated music.
Let's say I decide to work at composing music with AI. I can ask it to generate a triumphant fanfare with full brass and timpani, in 4:4 time.. It will spit some garbage out. Then I start to refine it - asking it to start with just trumpets interspersed with timpani, followed by the full brass coming in. Then I tell it to add in a specific chord progression, change dynamics, insert a direct modulation, etc. What makes that different than getting AI to create the beginnings and then refining and changing it myself jn Ablelton? Or, have AI make suggestions while I'm composing? The same problems are being seen in software development - at what level does something become the work of a computer, and therefore uncopyrightable? Where is that line?
Currently, the line is when you use/tell AI what to do, and then, the AI does it. So, it's the AI's "work." And since the AI isn't a person who can have ownership of stuff, what the AI makes is public domain.
This is similar to if you hired a musician to compose a piece. You can tell them "more bass" and "crescendo here," but, in the end, the work belongs to the musician, not you.
Unless... you have a contract with the musician in which they are granting ownership to you for a set amount of payment. An AI, however, can not make that contract with you as being it's not sentient.
Now, if when the AI is done, you jump onto a digital audio work station and alter the AI's work in some way, then your alteration is copyrighted. And if it is mixed into the final file such that the AI's work can't be singled out, then it's yours.
Artistic "work" of certain non-human primates and elephants have also been deemed public domain, since, even though those animals are the creator, the ownership requires it being done by a human.
For this to change, it would take an act of Congress to define giving direction to an AI as indeed being the creative force and then ownership redounds to that human director.

In now for Rose and Crown package to check out Luminous. The last time I did the EF package there it more or less smoked out the restaurant.

Maybe a media/CM preview, I don't think they've ever done an AP previews for nighttime shows.
Beat me to it! Thanks!!
