This is a non-story: "Artists will sell art made with new kind of paintbrush."

Only if it's copyright infringement. If you use tool to make infringing image then it's infringing. Artists have been able to trace since the sun was invented.

That's how it works when you buy art from anywhere. All you get is a statement from the artist or indemnification if you have a real real legal team.

Nobody knows that for sure. We'll see when it's tested in court.
I’m playing a bit of devils advocate to see where you draw the line. For me personally I actually think nothing is creative enough to have the results owned or more to the point it’s not the effort that goes in but the literal act of creation is copying that makes something new property ie I’m against non contractual intellectual property altogether and so don’t need to draw a line based off of the action itself but instead ask what the people buying the art agreed to when they pay for an act of media creation. I’m not trying to convince you to adopt this position. I am just curious

Only creative works are copyrightable.
