Patents and Copyrights are two different things. They're both part of Intellectual Property. Patents are granted after a process (a patent application) for "inventions". Copyright is granted automagically to the author of a work (art, writing, whatever).
Copyright (and patent) durations differ per jurisdiction, but they often go beyond the lifetime of the author. Which seems silly.
Not being able to slap a copyright on AI generated content may or may not make sense. Someone wrote the prompt which may be subject to copyright, though I guess it could be considered to be a recipe, and recipes after often not subject to copyright.
