This position statement makes it clear that only the manual details themselves merit protection, the base image itself must be disclaimed from the copyright registration. It would be fraud to attempt otherwise.
If I use controlnet and openpose to generate a character in the exact pose that I want - what does count as a manual detail then?
So with some custom LoRAs to maintain consistent appearance of characters and controlnet/openpose to pose characters exactly like I want I could make a comic book.
