This is not correct. AI models are tools that humans use.
This is like saying "it was typed on a computer therefore it doesn't enjoy copyright protections"
When you're using ai models to generate the art, it's not considered human enough. If you then make a bunch of modifications to it, sure, but giving the initial prompt is currently insufficient
Interesting and makes sense. I guess the best comparison I can think of is a random number generated with Math.random() is not copyrightable. But including that random number is a program is copyrightable.
I'd say that a corollary to this is that if the images/words generated by the machine are not copyrightable then they cannot also be _copyright violations_
