My reaction on reading this was that it seems that copyright maximalists will never ever stop. This article reports (approvingly) on efforts to reconsider the initial rulings that AI-generated content cannot be copyrighted. "Numerous advocates for GenAI output copyrights argue that user prompts supply the necessary originality to support copyright in outputs generated in response to them." Presumably this would mean that the prompt might be copyrightable, but no, the suggestion is that the output ought also to be copyrightable (to be fair, the author agrees different prompts may produce the same output, and the same prompt may at different times produce different outputs). There are also arguments around the commercial value of the human work being displaced by AI (see related). Via Alan Levine.
