Summary
Tung Tung Tung Sahur, a character also known as Triple T, is at the center of an international legal dispute over whether copyright protects it. The character was created in 2025 by an Indonesian teen using the username Noxa, with OpenAI's image-generation tool, and is based on a kentongan drum. The article frames the case as a test of where human creativity ends and AI-generated work begins, noting US copyright law only applies to human-made creations.
