So can you write a bunch of prompts into a book format and copyright the prompts, but not the works generated from those prompts. Ok.

  The trouble is that the plaintiff didn't register himself as the author (of the prompts). He tried to register the AI as the author of the artwork, and that's not copyright works.

    Owning the copyright of the prompts is only worth doing if you are going to sell copies of your prompts. If you are selling the generated book, then you want copyright protection for it to protect your exclusive right to produce copies. The plaintiff did the right thing based on self-interest, but lost.

This would be the case if they attempted to register the work as the author (which is the only way to register a copyright work! You can't register if you're not the author!) Since they wanted to push this AI as author nonsense, this reads more like a political or philosophical statement than something with practical benefit

  Well yeah, the prompts are written by a human and the output is not deterministic. I don’t understand what your point is.
